title: Successful management of recurrent pregnancy-related thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura: case report and review.
abstract: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare but potentially devastating complication of pregnancy. The authors report a case of a successful treatment of recurrent TTP complicating pregnancy. A review of the literature shows that recurrent TTP complicating pregnancy is uncommon and fresh frozen plasma exchange is important treatment; if the patient was treated properly, the pregnant showed favorable prognosis.
