General
Description
 Researchers in the Department of Neurology at the Medical
College of Georgia have been studying stroke in patients with sickle cell
disease (SCD) since the 1980s. Our goal is to promote screening, treatment
and prevention strategies for those at highest risk.
The long-term objective is to better understand the relationship between SCD
and cerebrovascular disease and to make available the best neurodiagnostic
and interventional therapies to lessen the cerebrovascular burden of SCD,
especially on children, who bear the brunt of stroke morbidity in this
disorder.
