Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare condition that presents with venous malformation blebs throughout the body, most commonly on the skin and gastrointestinal tract. There have only been a limited number of reports of benign BRBNS lesions involving the spine in children, which were detected after chronic symptomatology. We herein present a unique case of a ruptured BRBNS venous malformation into the epidural space of the lumbar spine in a child presenting with acute neurologic deficit and discuss the relevant surgical considerations for operating in the setting of BRBNS.
