Department of Radiology, HYGEIA Hospital, Athens, Greece.

We report the case of a 59-year-old man with skeletal haemangiomatosis who presented with progressive bilateral lower extremity weakness. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) located the causative lesion in the neural arch of the T4 vertebra. CT demonstrated osseous expansion with a mixed lytic and sclerotic pattern. MRI of the lesion showed hypointensity on T1 weighted images, mixed signal intensity on T2 weighted images and moderate contrast enhancement. Similar but less extensive lesions were present in other vertebrae as well as ribs.
