[Neurological complications in sickle cell disease (author's transl)]
Abstract
The various neurological manifestations encountered in 40 zairians out of a total of 500 with homozygous (SS) Sickle cell disease were described. These included convulsions, vascular accidents, mental changes, increased intracranial pressure and meningism. The literature on the involvement of the nervous system in Sickle cell disease is briefly reviewed.
