Rationale: Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a hematological disorder characterized by a decrease in platelet count due to increased destruction or decreased production. Although the pathophysiology and etiology remain largely unknown, understanding the typical and atypical presentations of ITP is crucial for early diagnosis and effective management. This case report highlights the rationale behind a comprehensive approach for the diagnosis and treatment of ITP, especially in cases with atypical presentations.
