Abstract

We report on a young Ghanaian female who was diagnosed with TTP but had ischaemic stroke as initial presentation. She was successfully treated with therapeutic plasma exchange. This case illustrates how TTP can masquerade as ischaemic stroke and the application of PLASMIC score without ADAMTS 13 assay in risk prediction.
