The incidence of gall stones in thalassaemia is less than that in sickle cell anaemia or hereditary spherocytosis. With adequate blood transfusions, the incidence is as low as 2%. There are not many reports on cholelithiasis in thalassaemia. A case of 24-year-old female with thalassaemia major and gall stone is reported here.
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is an uncommon cause of compressive myelopathy outside Japan. A case of cervical cord compression in a female whose MRI showed OPLL is reported. T2 weighted MRI images are the most effective to evaluate both spinal cord compression due to ossification and abnormal signal intensity of the cord. OPLL should be included in the differential diagnosis of cervical radiculomyelopathy.

We report a 36-year-old lady who presented with hematemesis. Emergency endoscopy showed a polypoidal lesion in the gastric fundus that appeared like a varix. Celiac angiogram confirmed this to be a hemangioma located in the fundus. This was managed by arterial embolization; the patient is symptom-free 6 months later.
