Abstract
A 6-year-old girl with signs of a space occupying lesion had a CT scan compatible with a brain tumor. A preoperative hemogram revealed thrombocytopenia which was later proved to be due to ITP. Intracranial bleeding can rarely be the first manifestation of ITP. Early recognition of this situation aided by serial CT follow-up may lead to an improvement in the handling of these patients.Entities:
