Article Abstract
We present the results of a meta-analysis using clinical data obtained from seven of our patients and 24 previously reported patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura complicated by intracranial hemorrhage.Twenty-four had an intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH)and seven had a subdural hematoma(SDH).Mean age of the patients with ICH was significantly younger than those with SDH.The mortality rate of ICH associated with ITP was similar to that of spontaneous ICH.All seven patients with SDH improved without sequelae.
