Abstract
The authors report a case of spontaneous spinal epidural haematoma causing paraplegia secondary to thrombocytopaenia and consumptive coagulopathy from Kasabach-Merritt syndrome. The patient had long-standing multiple subcutaneous and visceral haemangiomas from childhood and developed lumbago and subsequent paraplegia. Evacuation of a spinal epidural haematoma was performed, however, the patient's neurological symptoms did not improve significantly. This case describes the potential risk of bleeding in the spinal column in patients with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome. Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial for an optimal outcome.
