Abstract

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is thrombotic microangiopathy caused by decreased activity of ADAMTS13, a von Willebrand factor-degrading metalloprotease. Here, we present a male patient with neurological symptoms, diagnosed with TTP and successfully treated with plasmapheresis.
