Extramedullary haematopoiesis in thalassaemia major causing spinal cord compression.

Q L L Chiam1, K K Lau.   

Abstract

A 33-year-old, homozygous beta-thalassaemic, Jehovah witness man presented with subacute spinal cord compression secondary to extramedullary haematopoiesis within the thoracic spinal canal. In this case, MRI showed characteristic features of extramedullary haematopoiesis, leading to an early diagnosis.
