A Seeming Paradox: Ischemic Stroke in the Context of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.
Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/hemostasis 2016 March
Nowadays, we have a relatively sophisticated standard approach to a patient with acute ischemic stroke, including the sequence of diagnostic methods and treatment modalities. In practice, however, we are occasionally confronted with a patient whose medical history or comorbidities force us to make a decision without the support of guidelines. One such situation is the occurrence of acute ischemic stroke in a patient with known idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, where a tendency to use thrombolysis, anticoagulants, or antiplatelet agents collides with the fear of life-threatening bleeding. In this review, we try to outline current understanding of the pathophysiology of "paradoxical" ischemic events in this illness characterized by thrombocytopenia and to summarize clinical experience from case reports dealing with this topic, which could help us to rely on more than individual opinion seen through a purely "neurological" or "hematological" prism.
