[Anesthetic management of 52 deliveries in parturients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura].
To study the anesthetic management of parturients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) which is a frequent cause of thrombocytopenia in pregnant women and may lead to a dilemma since a low platelet count usually dictates not to perform epidural anesthesia. ⋯ Regional anesthesia should not necessary be withheld in ITP when the platelet count is less than 100,000/mm(3).
