We present a case of hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (hTTP) caused by a previously undescribed mutation in a 36-year-old woman who presented with seizures in the context of a possible infection. Her hematologic manifestations were mild, despite undetectable ADAMTS13 (A Distintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs 13) activity.
