Abstract

A 26-year-old man with a history of an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma arising from the urachus and a large, right-sided, epidermal nevus presented with a rapidly evolving tetraparesis. Investigations confirmed an intramedullary hemorrhage of the cervical spinal cord and an extensive arteriovenous malformation (AVM). An association between his nevus, rhabdomyosarcoma, and spinal AVM is hypothesized.
