Key words: Sickle cell disease, Migratory Pain, Bone infarctions
Emanuel is an 11-year-old boy of Ivorian descent, born and raised in Italy, who presented with recurrent migratory musculoskeletal pain. After excluding neurological and oncological conditions, his ethnic background and clinical course raised the suspicion of sickle cell disease. The diagnosis was later confirmed, with the disease manifesting through severe vaso-occlusive pain crises and bone infarctions.
