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

Maarten J. Rutgers, M.D., Paul J. van der Lugt, M.D. and Jacques M. van Turnhout, M.D.

Departments of Neurology and Hematology, Academic Hospital, Erasmus University, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Spinal cord compression by extramedullary hemopoietic tissue is a rare complication of hemolytic anemias. This is the first report of this complication in hemolytic anemia caused by pyruvate-kinase deficiency. Indium 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 months.

Dr. Rutgers' address is Academic Hospital, Erasmus University, Dr. Molenwaterplein 40, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Accepted for publication June 20, 1978.
