What is Cesarean and Splenectomy for ITP about?

This case report describes a pregnant woman with refractory immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) who failed to respond to steroid therapy. She underwent a cesarean section at 36 weeks gestation combined with splenectomy. Her platelet count improved post-operatively. Her infant had transient petechiae but did not require treatment and was discharged after an uneventful initial course. The case demonstrates performing splenectomy after cesarean delivery for refractory ITP when medical management fails.
