Spinal Cord Infarction in a Patient with Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) can increase the risk of not only hemorrhagic incidents but also thrombotic events. Although several patients with ITP who developed cerebral infarction have been reported, concurrence of spinal cord infarction and ITP has not been reported. We report the case o...

Zusammenfassung:	Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) can increase the risk of not only hemorrhagic incidents but also thrombotic events. Although several patients with ITP who developed cerebral infarction have been reported, concurrence of spinal cord infarction and ITP has not been reported. We report the case of a female patient who developed spinal cord infarction during the exacerbation of her ITP. This case suggests a possible association between spinal cord infarction and ITP, which can cause paradoxical thrombosis.
