title: Complicated migraine in AS hemoglobinopathy.
abstract: Neurological manifestations have been rarely described in sickle cell trait carriers. Almost all the patients up to now reported are black and young of age. An adult white man is reported, with AS hemoglobinopathy, affected by complicated migraine, who developed acute occlusion of two middle cerebral artery branches, with persistent neurological deficit. The possible significance of this association is discussed.
