Conclusion
Extramedullary erythropoiesis is a natural tissue response to a low
hemoglobin count in patients with thalassemia. This may cause neurologic
conditions such as spinal cord compression. Rapid diagnosis and
treatment are important to prevent further neurological injury and
improve functional outcome in such patients. For the Previous mentioned
reasons and by reviewing the literature, we conclude that in patients
with thalassemia and spinal cord compression, radiation can be effective
in resolution of the symptoms.
