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.

Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome after blood transfusion in a pediatric patient with sickle cell disease.
Kolovou V, Zampakis P, Ginopoulou A, Varvarigou A, Kaleyias J.
Pediatr Neurol. 2013;49(3):213-7.
Neurological deterioration in children with sickle cell disease after blood transfusion should raise high suspicion for reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome, especially in the setting of elevated blood pressure.

Because reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome was only described in sickle-cell anemia during severe acute chest syndrome, this report documents that milder illness can be associated with reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome in sickle-cell anemia, and also highlights subtle signs that may herald serious neurologic events in high-risk patients.

Examination of the pathophysiology of reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome in the context of sickle-cell anemia suggests that patients with sickle-cell anemia and subtle neurologic signs should be treated with high vigilance.
