Abstract
Orthotopic liver transplantation can be performed successfully in thalassemia. In this article, we describe a case of liver transplantation in a patient with sickle cell/beta-thalassemia complicated by liver sickling. Intrahepatic sickling must be considered in case of allograft dysfunction. This condition can easily be diagnosed by biochemical investigation and liver ultrasonography.
