Resumo
Hyperventilation exercise during electroencephalography precipitated a recurrence of right hemiplegia and aphasia in a patient with Hb SS disease. Although recovery of function started within hours of the event, full recovery has not occurred six months after. Hyperventilation provocative test during electroencephalography should be discouraged in patients with sickle cell anaemia.
