An epidural hematoma which caused an inferior mixed deep paraparesis with sensory disorders and disturbances in the function of the pelvic organs was consequent upon hemangiomatous lesion of the body of the tenth thoracic vertebra. Anterior decompression of the spinal cord and total replacement of the vertebral body made it possible to eliminate the complication and to achieve radical cure from the tumor. A seven-year follow-up verifies that the patient is in good condition.
