CT and MRI of intracranial extramedullary hematopoiesis: Two case reports

Intracranial extramedullary hematopoiesis is rare. We report CT and MR imaging findings of intracranial extramedullary hematopoiesis in two children with thalassemia. The first child had three extraaxial masses along the falx cerebri and tentorium and an extraaxial mass in the left temporal fossa. T...
