ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Patients with chronic ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenia) frequently do not require comprehensive medication for daily life. Usually, it had been regarded that postoperative bleeding after a simple or surgical extraction is easily controlled by simple local measures even in patients with ITP. This lack of regular medication usage can sometimes lead practitioners or patients to underestimate the potential life-threatening risk of ITP. There had been no report on postoperative hemorrhage in a patient with ITP related to dental implant surgery. CASE PRESENTATION This report presented a life-threatening postoperative hemorrhage after dental implant surgery in an adult with chronic ITP and subsequent emergency management after severe bleeding and airway compromise.CONCLUSION:
The presented case emphasizes the thorough hematological evaluation of the patients even for patients who do not take any specific medications for asymptomatic, chronic ITP.
