Abstract

Extramedullary hematopoiesis associated with thalassemia causing spinal cord compression is a rare event in the course of the disease. Management of these patients remains controversial. We present a case of traumatic vertebral body compression fracture with cord compression in association with thalassemia, which was treated successfully with spinal decompression and fusion, xation using implants and bone graft.
