Extramedullary haematopoiesis (EMH) is an ectopic production of blood cells to compensate for ineffective haematopoiesis. We report a rare symptomatic presentation of intracranial EMH and discuss its investigation and management. EMH should be considered a differential diagnosis in patients with haemoglobinopathies, haemolytic anaemias and myeloproliferative disorders, who present with symptoms of raised intracranial pressure.
髓外造血(EMH)是血细胞的异位生成,以补偿无效造血。我们报告了一例罕见的颅内EMH症状表现,并讨论其检查和治疗。对于患有血红蛋白病、溶血性贫血和骨髓增殖性疾病且出现颅内压升高症状的患者,应将EMH视为鉴别诊断之一。
