Review the clinical presentation, imaging findings, and management of emergencies in children with sickle cell disease (SCD), with attention to the critical role of imaging when differentiating between potential diagnoses and directing appropriate care. This exhibit will explore the multimodality emergency imaging of children with:
I. Acute vasoocclusive pain crisis
II. Dactylitis
III. Infection/sepsis
IV. Acute chest syndrome
V. Stroke
VI. Splenic sequestration
VII. Gallbladder disease
VIII. Renal nephropathy and infarcts
We will emphasize the central role of imaging in identifying acute and life-threatening complications in children with sickle cell disease, as well as the value of radiology in uncovering other pathologic processes that should be considered when children with SCD present to the emergency department.

Transcranial Doppler – How to successfully perform an optimal TCD on our younger patient demographic (ages 2-5 years)

Transcranial Doppler examinations are crucial in the care and treatment of patients in the Sickle cell population. The earlier we are able to obtain diagnostic studies on these patients the more effective treatment is and can reduce the risk of the patient suffering from a life altering stroke. Read More
