Abstract
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in pregnancy is challenging for both mother and fetus. Understanding the pathophysiology, treatments, and risks to the mother and fetus leads to proper management resulting in successful pregnancy and delivery in almost all cases.1 ITP in a pregnant woman has many similarities to ITP not in pregnancy although gestational thrombocytopenia can be confused with ITP. However, recognizing differences is instrumental in avoiding bleeding complications and toxicities of treatment. This Nutshell review focuses on the natural history of ITP in pregnancy, its treatment, and dilemmas.
