Spinal cord compression by extramedullary hemopoietic tissue in pyruvate‐kinase‐deficiency‐caused hemolytic anemia

Abstract
Spinal cord compression by extramedullary hemopoietic tissue is a rare complication of hemolytic anemias. This is the 1st report in a 38 yr old man of this complication in hemolytic anemia caused by pyruvate-kinase deficiency. In scan, computed tomography (CT) scan, and myelography were helpful in diagnosis. Surgery and radiotherapy were followed by complete recovery during a follow-up period of 12 mo.
