Overview
There are no CT scan findings associated with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. However, brain CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
CT scan
- There are no CT scan findings associated with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
- Brain CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on CT scan suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include:[1]
- Infarction
- Bleeding
- White matter changes
- Acute small infarcts
- Acute small infarcts
- Pposterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES)
- Neuroimaging may also be useful in detecting the severity of CNS manifestations as well as pathological changes occuring in the brain.
