BACKGROUND: Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) still presents particular challenges for anesthetists, especially when the patient needs surgery. Preparing a patient with ITP in elective surgery is an advantage for anesthetists since it gives us time to prepare the patient properly. CASE REPORT: We present a case of a 36-year-old woman scheduled for an elective laparotomy due to an ovarian cyst. She had been diagnosed with ITP in 2015 and was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for post-operative bleeding. CONCLUSION: Individual experience in elective surgery should lead anesthetists to a better judgment in emergency cases with ITP.
