Thrombotic microangiopathy with thrombocytopenia and intravascular hemolysis are characteristic of three disorders: malignant hypertension (MH), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and thrombocytopenic thrombotic purpura (TTP). We describe a patient with thrombotic microangiopathy secondary to malignant hypertension that caused extensive bilateral cortical ischemic infarction.
