Sickle cell anemia

Sickle cell anemias are chronic hemolytic diseases that may induce three types of acute accidents: severe anemia, severe bacterial infections, and ischemic vasoocclusive accidents (VOA) caused by sickle-shaped red blood cells obstructing small blood vessels and capillaries. Many diverse complications can occur.

Retinopathy

Any noninflammatory disease of the retina. This nonspecific term is retained here because of its wide use in the literature, but if possible new annotations should indicate the precise type of retinal abnormality.

[Fortuitous detection of composite heterozygous S/C sickle cell disease].
Biaz A, Neji M, Ajhoun Y, Idrissi SEM, Dami A, Reda K, Ouzzif Z, Bouhsain S.
Pan Afr Med J. 2017;27:93.
Our study highlights the wide clinical variability of sickle cell disease underlying the importance of early screening and adapted clinical monitoring of patients at-risk, in order to avoid its evolution toward irreversible organic sequelae such as sickle cell retinopathy.
