Abstract EN
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) consists of the pentad of thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, fever, neurologic abnormalities, and renal disease.
We present a case report of acute TTP following a bout of ischemic colitis.
This report reminds the clinician that ischemic colitis can be an atypical presentation of TTP.
The prompt recognition and treatment of this disease process resulted in a good prognosis for our patient.
