Spinal cord compression by extramedullary hematopoietic tissue in a thalassemic patient: prompt effect of
Haematologica
|September 1, 1989
Abstract:
As described in the literature, spinal cord compression by extramedullary hematopoietic tissue rarely occurs in thalassemic patients. Laminectomy and/or radiotherapy are the main approaches. We report on a patient with thalassemia intermedia who developed paralysis of both lower extremities due to the compression of the spinal cord by extramedullary hematopoietic tissue.
