✦ Synopsis

extrdmes de 4 it 28 ans. Des modifications structurales du corps vertdbral lides d l'hyperplasie mddullaire sont survenues chez 44% des patients. Des ndcroses avasculaires responsables d'un effondrement du corps vertebral ont dtd observdees chez 9 patients (26.5%). La spondylite infectieuse, qui constitue la complication la plus grave, a concerni 8 patients (23.5%), dont la plupart ont bdndfici~ d'une ddcompression antdrolatdrale et de greffes osseuses. Nous pensons que le rachis est souvent atteint au cours de la drdpanocytose et qu'un traitement agressif et une dtroite surveillance sont ndcessaires pour dviter des sdquelles majeures.
