  • Title: [MRI contribution in diagnosis of acute bone infarcts in children with sickle cell disease].
    Author: Bouden AK, Kaïs C, Abdallah NB, Kraiem NH, Jamoussi MM.
    Journal: Tunis Med; 2005 Jun; 83(6):344-8. PubMed ID: 16156409.
    Abstract:
    We analyse MRI findings of nine children with sickle cell disease having painful osseous attacks. The diagnosis of vaso-occlusive crisis was confirmed by negative bacteriology. MRI is useful for determining the anatomic site and the extent of acute infarcts. It gives a global view of osseous abnormalities, and contributes to differentiating acute infarcts from acute osteomyelitis.
