Abstract

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disease characterised by decreased thrombocyte count due to antithrombocyte IgG production, increased megacaryocte count in bone marrow and decreased thrombocyte life span. Thrombocytes have a key role in pathogenesis of acute coronary syndrome. Size, density or activities of thrombocytes might trigger acute coronary syndrome. In this case report, we hope to attract attention to acute vascular complications that might develop after splenectomy, by reporting acute coronary syndrome developed in the 48 hours following splenectomy in an ITP patient,

İdiopatik Trombositopenik Purpurali Hastada Splenektomiden Sonra Gelişen Akut Koroner Sendrom: Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

İdiopatik trombositopenik purpura (ITP), antitrombosit IgG üretimi, kemik iliğinde artmış megakaryosit sayımı ve azalmış trombosit ömrüne bağlı trombosit sayısının azalmasıyla karakterize otoimmün bir hastalıktır. Trombositler akut koroner sen-dromun patogenezinde anahtar rolü bulunmaktadır. Trombositlerin çapı, dansitesi ve aktiviteleri akut koroner sendromu tetikleyebilir. Bu vaka sunumunda, ITP’li hastada splenektomiden 48 saat sonra gelişen akut koroner sendromu sunarak, splenek-tomi sonrası gelişebilecek akut vasküler komplikasyonlara dikkat çekmek istedik.
