Article Abstract
Spinal cord compression caused by extramedullary hematopoiesis is a rare complication of chronic anemic states,most frequently occurring in patients with B-thalassemia.We report the MR appearance of extramedullary hematopoiesis resulting in cord compression in a patient with a myelodysplastic syndrome,which was isointense with the spinal cord on T1- weighted images and markedly hypointense on a fast spin-echo T2-weighted images,and that demonstrated enhancement.
