(PubMed, Cureus) - Sep 15, 2026 - "The patient was treated with therapeutic plasma exchange daily, high-dose methylprednisolone, and rituximab...Neurological recovery was quick, with resolution of the right-sided weakness by the fourth hospital day and an NIHSS score of 0. This case highlights that in young patients with stroke-like presentation, severe thrombocytopenia, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, prompt plasma exchange and immunosuppression can be lifesaving and should be considered in iTTP."
