Sickle cell anemia with perforated duodenal ulcer as a complication: when to suspect this rare entity?

ABSTRACT: Perforated duodenal peptic ulcers are often not considered when making a differential diagnosis of abdominal pain, especially in the context of sickle cell disease, and cases have not been frequently described in the literature. This study reports the case of a 14 year-old girl with sickle...
