Background And Purpose: Despite the large body of data available about somatic growth delay in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), virtually nothing is known about the effect of the disease on volumetric growth of the brain. This study was designed to test a hypothesis that children with SCD have a disease-related delay in brain volumetric growth compared with healthy children.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used to evaluate 83 children with SCD and 43 age-similar healthy children, including 27 patient siblings.
Purpose: To determine prevalence of imaging abnormalities in the brain of children with sickle cell disease (SCD) and to identify clinical and methodological factors that influence prevalence estimate.
Materials And Methods: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR angiographic findings for 185 patients with SCD examined at St Jude Children's Research Hospital since 1993 were reviewed. At least two readers independently reviewed images.
