    Abstract:
    A case of spinal cord compression due to vertebral haemangioma is described as presenting as part of the Kasabach-Merritt syndrome, which is characterized by bleeding disorder, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia. A dramatic improvement in neurological status and coagulation profile following surgical decompression and postoperative radiotherapy is reported. A brief review of the literature on the usefulness of radiotherapy is discussed.
