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.
CT scan
- There are no CT scan findings associated with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
- Brain CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura]. Findings on CT scan suggestive of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura include:[1]
- Acute small infarcts
- Bleeding
- White matter changes
- Posterior 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.
