PURPOSE: Acute splenic sequestration in children with sickle hemoglobinopathies is a medical emergency characterized by splenomegaly, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We describe a young girl with hemoglobin SC disease who experienced an acute splenic sequestration without palpable splenomegaly. CONCLUSIONS: We emphasize the need for a high index of suspicion for splenic sequestration and the utility of ultrasonography in documenting splenomegaly. |
