A Characteristic but Rare Skeletal Scintigraphy Findings in Sickle Cell Disease

Sickle cell disease is associated with recurrent vaso-occlusive episodes leading to a wide spectrum of skeletal complications. We report a case of a 39-year-old male with sickle cell disease who underwent bone scintigraphy for evaluation of right hip pain following bilateral hip arthroplasty. The study demonstrates various characteristic skeletal scintigraphy findings in sickle cell disease and emphasizes the diagnostic value of bone scintigraphy in identifying skeletal manifestations of the disease.
