Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a rare auto-antibody mediated disease of isolated thrombocytopenia (<100,000/μL) with normal haemoglobin levels and leukocyte counts. Only a small number of ITP cases have been reported with accompanying ophthalmological findings. Herein, we report an ITP case with demonstrative retinal haemorrhages.
CASE PRESENTATION: A fifty-five-year-old woman with a known history of type 2 diabetes mellitus was referred to our clinic with blurred vision. After detailed anamnesis and clinical assessment, she was diagnosed as primary ITP in haematology department, and systemic steroid (1.5mg/kg) therapy was initiated. During her follow-up, a concomitant peripheral facial paralysis (PFP) emerged. In the course of follow-up, her platelet counts increased gradually, the retinal haemorrhages regressed partially, and the PFP recovered completely.
CONCLUSION: ITP is a rare haematologic disease that sometimes manifests with additional systemic involvements, and this disease should be remembered in the differential diagnosis of unusual retinal haemorrhages, which might be the only presenting feature.
