Spinal Cord compression in
thalassemia intermediate Daryus Haydari, Rana Karabudak, Ersin Tan Spinal cord compression due to extramedullary haematopiesis is a rare but well defined complication in a number of hematologic disorders including thalassemia. A patient with thalassemia intermedia who had symptoms of spinal cord compression for two years recovered without any sequela after radiotherapy.
