Multiple pathologic fractures in a 19-month-old boy with sickle cell disease

Multiple pathologic fractures in a patient with sickle cell disease is rare; bone involvement is well documented in this disease, however multiple pathologic fractures as a complication are uncommon. We present a case involving a 19-month-old boy known to have sickle cell disease who developed multiple pathologic fractures as a complication of his disease. The patient was treated conservatively with excellent outcome.
