Extramedullary hematopoiesis with spinal cord compression in beta-thalassemia intermedia.

Massoud Saghafi1, Abbas Shirdel, Shahrzad M Lari.   

Abstract

Spinal cord compression due to extramedullary hematopoiesis is a rare manifestation of thalassemia. We present a 28-year-old woman with beta-thalassemia intermedia and progressive paraparesis. She had a thoracic extradural extramedullary mass lesion on MRI. She improved after receiving multiple transfusions. Clinical awareness of this phenomenon with early treatment is essential for a successful outcome.
