  • Title: Intracranial extramedullary haematopoiesis: A case report.
    Author: Mehta S, Shapey J, Pohl U, Vindlacheruvu R.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2015; 29(5):734-6. PubMed ID: 25812022.
    Abstract:
    Extramedullary haematopoiesis (EMH) is an ectopic production of blood cells to compensate for ineffective haematopoiesis. We report a rare symptomatic presentation of intracranial EMH and discuss its investigation and management. EMH should be considered a differential diagnosis in patients with haemoglobinopathies, haemolytic anaemias and myeloproliferative disorders, who present with symptoms of raised intracranial pressure.
