abstract={We report a paediatric idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) patient with primary spontaneous suprachoroidal haemorrhage (SSCH). The patient was diagnosed of ITP based on platelets count and morphology. Eye ultrasound indicated SSCH with total choroidal detachment. After improvement of the patient platelet count using immunoglobulin treatment, two surgical vitrectomy were performed on the patient with 3-weeks interval. After six months-follow up, the patient revealed normal IOP and hand motion vision in the left eye. We recommend that ITP should be considered as one of the risk factors for vision threatening ocular haemorrhages even for paediatric patients.},
