Sickle cell retinopathy: A literature review.
Revista da Associação Médica Brasileira 2017 December
Hemoglobinopathies are a group of hereditary diseases that cause quantitative or qualitative changes in the shape, function or synthesis of hemoglobin. One of the most common is sickle cell anemia, which, due to sickling of erythrocytes, causes vaso-occlusive phenomena.
