Résumé

Initially reported in a few patients with homozygous sickle cell disease (SCD), atrophic areas of the retina temporal from the macula are now known to be present in about 48% of eyes of adult patients with SS-SCD and in 35% of eyes of adult patients with SC-SCD. The aim of this study is to describe this paramacular atrophy in children affected with SCD.
