The incidence of stroke continues to increase for adults and children living with sickle cell disease (SCD) despite the Stroke Prevention Trial in Sickle Cell Anemia (STOP) establishing standards of care like transfusions and tests to measure blood flow in the brain for those deemed high-risk, according to a new study.

Background:White matter disease is a common phenomenon in patients with sickle cell disease, that has been linked to cognitive impairment. However, there is no standardized approach for quantification of the cerebral disease burden.

Hemispheric OEF, as an indicator of increased stroke risk, may guide medical management and surgical intervention.

Introduction:Moyamoya is a progressive cerebrovascular disease characterized by stenosis of the cerebral arteries in the anterior circulation and less often the posterior circulation. In our cohort 7.2% of children with moyamoya had basilar artery stenosis.

One patient was also found eligible and treated with IV-thrombolysis. We propose these findings as a basis for designing a larger scale study for result confirmation.
