Abstract

Severe sickle cell disease (SCD) can present with different vaso-occlusive manifestations with cerebral vasculopathy (CV) as one of the most serious complications. Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is the ultimate therapy for this complication. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome and impact of HSCT on severe SCD patients with CV complications.
