Summary
This chapter covers definitions, possible presentations, pre-pregnancy counselling and management of fetal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. Management plans are presented for three distinct clinical scenarios, namely (1) pregnancy with previously affected child without intracranial haemorrhage; (2) pregnancy with previously affected child with intracranial haemorrhage; and (3) fetus with newly diagnosed intracranial haemorrhage.
