• Resumen

  • Stroke remains one of the most serious complications of sickle cell disease. Almost 11% of the patients will have a stroke before the age of 20. The etiology is hemorrhagic in a small part of the cases, which is associated with a high mortality. We present the case of a 19 year-old patient, with sickle cell disease and multiple associated complications. The patient was admitted with acute chest syndrome and developed a hemorrhagic stroke while hospitalized.
