  • Title: MR of thoracic cord compression caused by epidural extramedullary hematopoiesis in myelodysplastic syndrome.
    Author: Dibbern DA, Loevner LA, Lieberman AP, Salhany KE, Freese A, Marcotte PJ.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 1997 Feb; 18(2):363-6. PubMed ID: 9111677.
    Abstract:
    Spinal cord compression caused by extramedullary hematopoiesis is a rare complication of chronic anemic states, most frequently occurring in patients with beta-thalassemia. We report the MR appearance of extramedullary hematopoiesis resulting in cord compression in a patient with a myelodysplastic syndrome, which was isointense with the spinal cord on T1-weighted images and markedly hypointense on fast spin-echo T2-weighted images, and that demonstrated enhancement.
