Abstract Background: To present a case report of intracranial extra-medullary intracranial hematopoiesis in a Saudi female child with osteopetrosis. Case Report: We report a case of a Saudi girl child aged seven years, who presented to the Emergency Department of Najran University Hospital, with headache, repeated vomiting and decreased level of consciousness. She was previously diagnosed as a case of osteopetrosis at the age of one year. She was found to have intracranial extra-medullary hemat-opoiesis, as evidenced by CT brain along with subsequent intracranial complications. Conclusions: Osteopetrosis is a rare disease, especially among children. Its complications should be considered in management of children with osteopetrosis complaining of manifestations of increased intracranial pressure.
