An 18-year-old girl with rarely occurring extensive vertebral canal haemangioma is described. The clinical onset of the disease was sudden, with weakness of lower extremities and girdle pains at the level of lower ribs. Despite several recurrences of the symptoms and permanent motor function deficit the patient was able after reparative operations, radiotherapy, rehabilitation treatment and pharmacological therapy to move around unaided using elbow crutches.
