Özet
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by intermittent vaso-occlusive events and chronic hemolytic anemia. This genetic disease has mortal complications. Vaso-occlusive events result in tissue ischemia leading to acute and chronic pain as well as organ damage. People who hasn't have any organ damage, can live to fifth decade ,and 22% of these people die because of stroke. The woman is a carrier of sickle cell disease with complaints of neuralgia headache. No pathological symptom was encountered during the neuralogical exam. However subacute infarct on right corpus striatum and chronic infarct on the periventricular white matter were determined in the cranial MRI. Magnetic resonance venography of the brain indicated left sigmoid sinus thrombosis. The case is important because of having different cerebrovascular accident formes which were produced by sickle cell anemia.
