PARAPLEGIA IN A PREGNANT THALASSEMIC WOMAN DUE TO EXTRAMEDULLARY HEMATOPOIESIS - SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT WITH TRANSFUSIONS
No full textThe investigation and treatment of a pregnant thalassemic woman who
developed severe paraplegia is presented. Magnetic resonance imaging
showed a paravertebral mass infiltrating the epidural space, resulting
from extramedullary hematopoiesis (marrow heterotopia). The patient was
treated successfully with repeated blood transfusions and made a
complete recovery. The literature (36 cases) is reviewed and the
magnetic resonance imaging features of spinal extramedullary
hematopoiesis are presented. The efficacy of transfusions in the
management of spinal cord compression due to marrow heterotopia in
thalassemic patients is discussed
