A fifty-year-old male patient presented with bilateral lower limb paraplegia. He was subsequently found to have sickle cell anaemia. The patient showed good response to treatment. Central nervous system complications in sickle cell anaemia are well known. However paraplegia has rarely been documented in sickling disorders. We report this case because of rarity of sickle cell anaemia presenting in old age with paraplegia.
一名50岁男性患者出现双下肢截瘫。随后发现他患有镰状细胞贫血。该患者对治疗反应良好。镰状细胞贫血的中枢神经系统并发症是众所周知的。然而，截瘫在镰状细胞疾病中很少有文献记载。我们报告这个病例是因为老年镰状细胞贫血伴截瘫的情况很罕见。
