CONTEXT: Spinal cord compression due to extramedullary hematopoiesis is a well-described but rare syndrome encountered in several clinical hematologic disorders, including <FONT FACE="Symbol">b</font>-thalassemia. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a patient with intermediate <FONT FACE="Symbol">b</font>-thalassemia and crural paraparesis due to spinal cord compression by a paravertebral extramedullary mass. She was successfully treated with low-dose radiotherapy and transfusions. After splenectomy, she was regularly followed up for over four years without transfusion or recurrence of spinal cord compression. DISCUSSION: Extramedullary hematopoiesis should be investigated in patients with hematologic disorders and spinal cord symptoms. The rapid recognition and treatment with radiotherapy can dramatically alleviate symptoms.

This case illustrates that hematologic disorders must be considered as a potentially life-threatening cause for vision loss. Proper laboratory workup and timely interdisciplinary approach are essential to ensure the best possible care for ophthalmic patients. Historically, before the use of bone marrow biopsy, the ophthalmologist was often asked to assist in the diagnosis of leukemia. Since ophthalmological symptoms may be the initial presenting signs of leukemia as highlighted in this case, the ophthalmogist is still of crucial importance.

Palate Patient

Cleft lip and palate is the most common congenital anomaly. Its association with hematologic disorders is rarely reported. Cyclic neutropenia is a rare blood disorder that may occur spontaneously or has a genetic predisposition. Periodicity/recurrence of cyclic neutropenia has a cyclical pattern reoccurring in multiples of 7 days, usually at 21- or 28-day intervals between attacks, with the patient being fairly asymptomatic. There is no case in the literature that has reported the presence of cyclic neutropenia in cleft patients. We report a case of cleft patient associated with Cyclic\ neutropenia\. The clinical features, diagnosis, and course of management are described.

Splenic Hamartoma

Hamartoma is a rare splenic benign tumor usually accidentally detected as a radiologic finding. Preoperative diagnosis poses a challenge and thus surgery becomes necessary to confirm the clinical suspicion. Laparoscopic splenectomy has gained consensus as a standard surgical procedure particularly for autoimmune hematological diseases. This former experience has allowed this technique to be extended to other splenic pathologies. Here we report a case of total laparoscopic splenectomy for a bulky splenic hamartoma in a young male patient.
