    Abstract:
    A case of low dorsal spinal cord compression, due to ossifying arachnoiditis, is reported. Its relationship with a venous malformation overlying the dorsal surface of the spinal cord is mentioned. The literature is reviewed and possible etiopathogenetic factors favouring this rare condition are discussed in the light of few similar reports. The value of surgical treatment is stressed.
