Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) can occur in patients with thalassemia intermedia as a physiologic response to insufficient erythropoiesis to meet circulatory demands. Rarely, EMH involve the epidural space causing spinal cord compression. We describe a case of EMH in a 21-year-old man with β-thalassemia intermedia presenting with progressive low back pain, worsening paraparesis and sphincter disturbance. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated spinal cord compression by EMH epidural mass lesions extending from T3 to T10 levels. An emergency multilevel decompressive laminectomy was performed with excision of the masses and complete rehabilitation of the patient.
