An additional case of the author''s is described. A 5-months-old child became paraplegic within a period of 4 weeks. The symptoms were relieved by laminectomy and partial removal of an extradural thoracolumbar leukemic deposit. The patient was subsequently found to be suffering from lymphatic leukemia.Keywords
