  • Title: Pathological fracture of vertebral column in association with sickle cell anemia in Saudi Arabia.
    Author: Al-Awamy B, Sumer T, Naeem MA, Al-Mouzan M.
    Journal: Trop Geogr Med; 1986 Dec; 38(4):421-4. PubMed ID: 3810848.
    Abstract:
    We describe two cases of sickle cell anemia who were admitted in the hospital with the complaint of backache. X-ray examination and bone scan revealed pathological fracture of vertebral column. These cases are of interest since sickle cell anemia in the Eastern part of Saudi Arabia is reported to run a relatively 'benign' course.
