Zusammenfassung:	To demonstrate the feasibility of trans-scleral diode laser photocoagulation for the treatment of proliferative sickle cell retinopathy. Interventional case report. Trans-scleral diode laser scatter photocoagulation was applied to both eyes of a 30-year-old man with hemoglobin SC disease. Regression of retinal vascular proliferation and of dye leakage on fluorescein angiography. After coagulation, vascular proliferation receded completely. Vitreous bleeding was absorbed. There were no side effects during follow-up (22 months). Trans-scleral diode laser photocoagulation proved to be an effective and safe treatment in a case of proliferative sickle cell retinopathy with vitreous bleeding.
