Abstract: Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a well-known precipitant of vascular occlusions when triggers of SCD crisis are active. This process commonly impacts the arterial circulation in different organs. SCD has not been recognized as a leading cause of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (CVT) and the crisis does not typically start within the venous system. In this report, we present a case of SCD patient presenting with venous thrombosis as an initial vascular attack.
