Diagnosis:Hemolytic anemia Discussion:Two lateral skull x-rays with peculiar thin, fine linear extensions radiating out from the skull, appearing as hair standing 'on-end' from the skull. The ‘hair’ represents the accentuated trabeculae extending between the inner and outer skull tables in the expanded diploic marrow spaces. It appears to be ‘on end’ because the trabeculae are oriented perpendicular to the inner and outer tables of the skull. The term is now classically associated with the radiographic changes seen in hemolitic anemia. A. Sickle cell disease. B. Thalassemia.
