Overview
There are no CT scan findings associated with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of PNH, which include intracranial thrombosis, splenic vein thrombosis, and portal vein thrombosis. CT scan can also show splenomegaly and may be useful to quantitate the size of the spleen.
