Sickle cell anemia is one of the qualitative hemoglobinopathies which are the most widespread in the world. In a retrospective study on 11 drepanocytary patients (10 SS and 1 SC) observed at the BORDEAUX children's hospital. 3 Processus were identified: Hemolysis: 3 hepatomegaly, 3 splenomegaly, 1 hematochromatosis and 4 pigmentary lithiasis; Thrombosis: 1 infarctus case of spleen, kidney, lung, 1 papillary necrosis and 1 brain vascular ischemic appearance;
Infection: 1 spleen abscess and 1 pneumopathy. In 15% of instances, visceral appearances are allowed to discoverer sickle cell anemia. Hemolysis type appearances were currently observed (63.6%) like pigmentary lithiasis and hepatomegaly. The authors analyze the major radiological appearances of this hemoglobinopathy and recall the interest in knowing this disease even in low endemicity countries.
