Abstract

A young woman with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and a history of catatonic schizophrenia proved to have had a prolonged previous episode of TTP with catatonic features. TTP may result with a variety of mental phenomena; its pathophysiology may prove to be relevant to psychiatry. As a treatable but potentially fatal disease, its recognition is important.
