Hereditary spherocytosis

Hereditary spherocytosis is a congenital hemolytic anemia with a wide clinical spectrum (from symptom-free carriers to severe hemolysis) characterized by anemia, variable jaundice, splenomegaly and cholelithiasis.

Peripheral neuropathy

	While the coexistence of hereditary spherocytosis and a peripheral neuropathy may have been purely coincidental, it is plausible that the isolated lesion in this patient was due to ischemic changes from underlying rheologic conditions, possibly in association with a variation in the neural or nutrient vessel supply to the EHL.
