Fatal hemorrhagic transformation after ischemic stroke in a child with sickle cell disease SS: A case report

Figure 1 Brain computed tomography scans of patient, an 8-year-old girl with sickle cell disease homozygous SS. A and B: Axial (A) and sagittal (B) views demonstrated a subacute ischemic infarction involving the territories of the right anterior cerebral artery and right middle cerebral artery. Orange arrows indicate the hypodense area corresponding to the subacute infarction.

Figure 2 Brain computed tomography scan (coronal view). Computed tomography performed on day 4 of intensive care unit hospitalization demonstrated diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage, diffuse cerebral edema, and an approximately 8-mm right subfalcine herniation. Orange arrows indicate the hyperdense subarachnoid blood within the basal cisterns.
