Abstract

Advances in both imaging techniques and in treatments for immune thrombocytopenias affecting the fetus have allowed for more accurate antenatal predictions of severe disease and effective antenatal treatments for those fetuses who are at risk of sequelae. This article will review current knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of affected fetuses in alloimmune thrombocytopenia and in immune thrombocytopenic purpura.
