Sickle cell anemia is a form of anemia in which the red blood cells are shaped like a sickle. This results in the red blood cells clumping and having great difficulty flowing through the blood vessels.Some patients experience *sickle cell crisis. Conditions such as stroke symptoms or ischemic
chest pain may result from the lack of oxygen.
