    Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) can be misdiagnosed as cerebral infarction, particularly when neurological symptoms are present.

  • 2

    Thrombocytopenia of unknown origin is a crucial indicator for differentiating TTP from other conditions before platelet transfusion.

  • 3

    When plasma inventory is insufficient, combining albumin with plasma exchange is a feasible treatment strategy for TTP patients.

  • 4

    Early diagnosis and targeted treatment are essential for improving the prognosis of patients with TTP.

  • 5

    Multidisciplinary collaboration is important in the management of TTP to enhance patient outcomes.
