  • Title: Spinal cord compression due to epidural extramedullary haematopoiesis in thalassaemia: MRI.
    Author: Aydingöz U, Oto A, Cila A.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1997 Dec; 39(12):870-2. PubMed ID: 9457713.
    Abstract:
    Spinal epidural extramedullary haematopoiesis is very rare in thalassaemia. A 27-year-old man with thalassaemia intermedia presented with symptoms and signs of spinal cord compression. MRI showed a thoracic spinal epidural mass, representing extramedullary haematopoietic tissue, compressing the spinal cord. Following radiotherapy, serial MRI revealed regression of the epidural mass and gradual resolution of spinal cord oedema.
