To describe an atypical clinical presentation of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia where thrombosis develops in the absence of a drop in platelet count.
Clinical evaluation of an intensive care unit patient receiving heparin therapy for thromboembolic disease management.
Monitoring of peripheral platelet counts alongside diagnostic evaluation for heparin-associated immune-mediated thrombosis.
The patient developed severe thrombotic complications following heparin exposure despite maintaining platelet counts within normal reference ranges.
Heparin-induced prothrombotic disease manifested without the defining hallmark of thrombocytopenia.

Implication

Case report demonstrates heparin-induced thrombosis with normal platelet counts in intensive care, suggesting immune-mediated clotting can occur without thrombocytopenia.
