MR imaging of spleen in beta-thalassemia major

Abdominal Imaging, 2006
Splenomegaly and splenic siderosis are well-known findings in beta-thalassemia major. We explored the relation between splenic size, splenic and hepatic siderosis in transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemic patients, assessed by MR imaging.Abdominal MR imaging studies of 47 consecutive thalassemic patients and 10 healthy subjects, used as controls, were ...

Cardiac involvement in beta-thalassemia major and beta-thalassemia intermedia.

Hemoglobin, 2005
The forms and severity of cardiac complications were investigated in patients with asymptomatic thalassemia intermedia and thalassemia major by M-mode, bi-dimensional echocardiography (ECHO) and echo-Doppler. Twenty-eight patients of both sexes with beta-thalassemia intermedia (beta-TI), mean age 23.2 +/- 6.3 years, untransfused or minimally transfused,

[Dermatoglyphics in beta-thalassemia major].

Genetika, 1976

[Platyspondylisis+ in beta-thalassemia major].

La Radiologia medica, 1993
Platyspondylia was observed in 14 patients affected with thalassemia major (7 males and 7 females, age range: 10-18 years) who received an intensive transfusion regimen combined with continuous chelation therapy (desferrioxamine: 50-80 mg/kg daily). Height/width ratio was decreased at all the investigated tracts--i.e., cervical and/or dorsal and/or ...

[Osteopenia in beta-thalassemia major].

Schweizerische medizinische Wochenschrift, 1997
Regular blood transfusions in patients with beta-thalassaemia major lead to secondary hemochromatosis in the majority of cases. As a consequence of chronic iron overload, many endocrinopathies may occur. The most frequent endocrine dysfunction is hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, which is mainly responsible for osteopenia in as much as 80% of thalassemic ...

Growth of children with β-thalassemia major

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2005
Hypertransfusion and regular chelation therapy have allowed improved survival in patients with thalassemia major (TM). Despite medical advances, growth failure and hypogonadism remain significant clinical problems in these patients in adolescence. Disproportionate truncal shortening which is common especially among adolescents with thalassemia, is due ...

Cerebrovascular accident in beta-thalassemia major (beta-TM) and beta-thalassemia intermedia (beta-TI).

American journal of hematology, 2008
Chronic hypercoagulable state expressed clinically by thromboembolic events has been described in thalassemia. One of the affected organs is the brain where symptomatic and asymptomatic damage has been reported.
