摘要
The craniofacial manifestations of beta thalassaemia are widely reported, and occur as a result of inadequate haematopoiesis leading to marrow space expansion. Secondarily, extramedullary haematopoiesis can occur throughout the body, although this is rarely reported in the paranasal sinuses. We discuss the systemic and craniofacial manifestations of beta thalassaemia major, with a focus on the radiological findings, as illustrated in a case of a 55-year-old male patient who was referred to the dental hospital as a result of complications of thalassaemia. This case report focuses on the effects of thalassaemia that may be encountered in a dental setting and highlights the radiological findings that clinicians should be aware of. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Dental and craniofacial manifestations, and their management, are discussed for patients with beta thalassaemia.
