“…Cases with splenic infarcts, which are highly uncommon, may present with complaints of acute abdomen [18]. Among causes of splenic infarcts can be listed bacterial endocarditis, vasculitis, portal hypertension, splenomegaly, sickle cell anemia, extrinsic compression of the splenic artery, and therapeutic complications [19,20]. On the first admission of our case, splenomegaly and splenic infarcts had been observed on the abdominal CT.…”

“…Symptomatic patients complain of painful and limited motion of the affected joint. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is appropriate for the early diagnosis, while advanced disease may be diagnosed with plain radiographs, which show mottled attenuation of the epiphysis, subchondral lucent areas and flattening or collapse of the articular surfaces [7,8]. This may be followed by narrowing of the joint space, articular sclerosis and osteophyte formation [9].…”

Correlation between maxillofacial radiographic features and systemic severity as sickle cell disease severity predictor

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship among radiographic features observed on panoramic radiographs of sickle cell disease patients and analyze their relationship with history of systemic severity of the disease. Panoramic radiographs of 71 subjects with sickle cell disease were evaluated for the presence of the following radiographic bony alterations: radiopaque areas, increased spacing of bony trabeculae, horizontal arrangement of bony trabeculae and corticalization of mandibular canal. History of clinical systemic severity was assessed through direct questioning about the frequency of vaso-occlusive crisis, history of stroke, clinical jaundice, femur head necrosis, and leg ulceration. Chi-square or Fisher's exact test were applied in order to analyze possible associations between radiographic features and history of complications, with p < 0.05 significance level. Increased spacing of bony trabeculae was statistically associated with absence of corticalization of mandibular canal (p < 0.01) and horizontal arrangement of bony trabeculae (p = 0.04). Statistically significant associations were demonstrated between history of clinical jaundice and presence of increased spacing of bony trabeculae (p = 0.02) and between history of stroke and presence of horizontal arrangement of bony trabeculae (p = 0.04). Based on the results of the current study, maxillofacial radiographic features may be associated with clinical parameters of systemic complications in sickle cell disease patients. The relationship between radiographic features and history of complications associated with clinical severity of sickle cell disease has not been demonstrated in the literature. Acknowledgment of such possible association may help establish prognosis and influence clinical treatment of systemic and oral complications.
