Abstract
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.
