| Abstrakt: | A 66-year-old man presented to the outpatient clinic with back pain and progressive bilateral lower limb weakness over a period of 6 months. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a large extraosseous epidural lesion at T6-T7 arising from the left T6 spinal nerve root complicated with cord compression leading to cord oedema. The lesion was excised en bloc and histopathological examination revealed benign venous haemangioma. We report this rare case of venous epidural haemangioma to be considered as a differential diagnosis in a patient with a background of previous lumbar discectomy surgery and who was a nasopharyngeal carcinoma survivor.
