  • Title: Chronic myeloproliferative diseases.
    Author: de Lacerda JF, Oliveira SN, Ferro JM.
    Journal: Handb Clin Neurol; 2014; 120():1073-81. PubMed ID: 24365372.
    Abstract:
    The chronic myeloproliferative disorders are a group of diseases in which there is an increased proliferation of one or more subtypes of myeloid cells; they include essential thrombocythemia (ET), polycythemia vera (PV), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). In ET and PV the main neurologic manifestations are headaches, dizziness and macro- and microvascular, both venous and arterial, thrombosis and intracranial hemorrhages. Paresthesias and chorea also occur in PV. In PMF neurologic complications are very rare and consist predominantly of spinal cord compression by extramedullary hematopoiesis tissue.
