چکیده

Thrombocytopenia is defined as a platelet count of less than 100,000 platelets per microlitre (mcL). Thrombocytopenia develops in approximately 6-7% of women during pregnancy and at least 3% of these cases are caused by immunological platelet destruction. Herein, we present a pregnant woman who develops at the first trimester autoimmune thrombocytopenia purpura associated with positive antiphospholipid antibodies. The disease was refractory to pharmacological treatments but had a favourable response to splenectomy. The patient carried the pregnancy to term without complication and gave birth to a healthy baby girl.

Laparoscopic splenectomy for immune thrombocytopenic purpura in patients with severe refractory thrombocytopenia.

Laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) for immune thrombocytopenic purpura has a success rate of 70-90%. This invasive procedure is sometimes required for patients with refractory thrombocytopenia. However, no data on their outcome are available. If the hematologic response is inadequate, its value vis-à-vis the risk associated with major surgery is open to question. Twelve of 110 patients who underwent...
