Abstract

Sickle cell anemia is a severe disorder that rarely spares affected adults. We describe here a 32-year-old pregnant woman who presented her first lifetime symptoms of her disease during induction of labor at term. We therefore discuss the possible causes that may have triggered this inaugural crisis.
