lüll Prevention and management of stroke in sickle cell anemia Platt OSHematology Am Soc Hematol Educ Program 2006[]; ä (ä): 54-7As the overall health of patients with sickle cell anemia (SS) improves and diagnostic techniques become more sensitive, physicians are seeing patients with an increasingly wide range of subtle and not-so-subtle brain injury. The major breakthrough in the field of sickle-related brain injury has been the unprecedented success of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) to identify asymptomatic patients at high risk of stroke, coupled with chronic transfusion therapy to prevent it. The evidence for TCD screening and preventive treatment is strong and compelling, but there are still important unanswered questions regarding the implications of "silent infarcts" found in the magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of asymptomatic individuals, and the growing awareness of the burden of neuropsychiatric dysfunction in otherwise apparently healthy individuals.|Anemia, Sickle Cell/*complications[MESH]|Disease Management[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Magnetic Resonance Imaging[MESH]|Stroke/diagnostic imaging/*prevention & control/therapy[MESH]|Ultrasonography, Doppler, Transcranial[MESH] |
