Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and neuropathy: A case report and review

ABSTRACT

Mononeuropathy multiplex is a rare disorder associated with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Extrinsic compression due to hematoma, intraneural bleed and immune mediated nerve injury are reported mechanisms of neuropathy. We report of a case of a girl with recurrent idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura with mononeuropathy multiplex, along with a brief review of the mechanism of neuropathies in asscociation with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
