Cover Story: Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) serves as a compensatory mechanism in chronic hemolytic anemias such as thalassemia, and can result in spinal cord compression. This report presents the case of a 36-year-old woman with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT) who presented with lower extremity motor deficiency, pelvic paresthesia, and bladder dysfunction. The patient had a history of lower back pain, bilateral lower limb weakness, and demonstrated poor compliance with iron chelation therapy. The MRI findings indicated spinal cord compression attributable to extramedullary hematopoiesis. View this paper
