    AbstractIntravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) are used for a variety of immunologic and hematologic disorders. Hemorheologic alteration or the rapid increase of platelet counts by IVIG administration can cause thrombotic adverse events. We present a 58-year-old woman with a previous diagnosis of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura who developed cerebellar infarction immediately after IVIG treatment. We discuss a possible role of IVIG in cerebral ischemia and management strategies.Copyright © 2012 National Stroke Association. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
