Abstract
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is a multisystem disease of unknown etiology. There are various predisposing factors, such as pregnancy, an infectious process, oral contraceptives, and surgery. Pregnant or postpartum women represent 10% of cases of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, with an approximate incidence of one in 25,000 births. We report the case of a woman who developed thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura 6 days after undergoing a caesarean section without other significant findings, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing this disease from other, highly similar illnesses during pregnancy.
