Only registered users can translate articles

Splenic infarction in patients with sickle cell trait is usually related to hypoxic conditions, while non-hypoxia-related infarcts are extremely rare. We report on a case of a 17-year-old male patient, living at sea level, who developed a severe left upper quadrant abdominal pain during the course

Concomitant hereditary spherocytosis and sickle cell trait, although extremely rare, could potentially lead to splenic sequestration or infarction. We report here the first case of splenic infarction in a child with hereditary spherocytosis and sickle cell trait while flying on a commercial

Splenic Infarction in Two Members of the Family with Sickle Cell Trait: A Case Report of Rare Complication.

Only registered users can translate articles

Sickle cell trait is a highly prevalent condition. It is not a disease. However, it has been associated with few rare complications. Splenic infarction is one among them. The altitude-related hypoxia is the most common predisposing factor for this. The simultaneous occurrence of this complication in

Splenic infarction in a white man with sickle cell trait.

We report the third case of splenic infarction from sickle cell trait in a young white man traveling through mountains. Apparently the hypoxemia at 10,800 feet, along with a relatively high hemoglobin S concentration of 40%, interacted with the known conditions of splenic blood flow to cause

Splenic infarction associated with sickle cell trait at low altitude.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Sickle cell trait is widely known to be associated with splenic infarction at high altitudes. Although textbooks and reviews imply that this complication does not occur at low altitudes, we encountered such a case and identified several previous cases in the literature. METHODS An

Health risk for athletes at moderate altitude and normobaric hypoxia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Altitudes at which athletes compete or train do usually not exceed 2000-2500 m. At these moderate altitudes acute mountain sickness (AMS) is mild, transient and affects at the most 25% of a tourist population at risk. Unpublished data included in this review paper demonstrate that more intense

Sickle cell trait: what are the costs and benefits of screening?

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Eight percent of African Americans are carriers of the sickle cell trait. Some regard this as a benign anomaly, but others point to incidents of sudden exercise-related death, calling for a preliminary screening of either all athletes or those of African-American ancestry. This brief

[Abdominal complications of heart surgery].

Only registered users can translate articles

Abdominal complications after cardiac surgery (excluding "medical" jaundice) are rare. Twenty six cases were observed out of a total of 7 847 operations (0.33%) performed between 1973 and 1980. The causes were very diverse; the most common being gastroduodenal ulceration, usually acute (9 cases).

A 1-month-old infant with congenital heart disease underwent initial cardiac surgery (Mee Shunt) at day 20 but was later readmitted because of poor shunt flow and hypoxemia. Despite therapy, the infant deteriorated and suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest. After 40 minutes of resuscitation, spontaneous

The sickle cell trait in relation to the training and assignment of duties in the armed forces: II. Aseptic splenic necrosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Well-documented information gleaned from the world's literature reveals that in vivo sickling of erythrocytes and vascular occlusive lesions involving the spleen have occurred in individuals with the sickle cell trait (SCT) while flying in unpressurized airplanes or when exposed to hypoxic

Vanishing spleen syndrome post right partial nephrectomy in a sicklemic patient.

Only registered users can translate articles

Splenic infarction after contralateral laparoscopic renal surgery has not, to our knowledge, been reported. The spleen is the most affected organ in sickle cell disease and the mechanism of auto infarction is thought to result from the crystallization of abnormal hemoglobin during periods of hypoxia
