Autoimmune diseases may be related with the development of a secondary autoimmune disorder. We, herein, report a case (31 years old female) of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura responding to antithyroid treatment in a patient with Graves Opthalmopathy (GO). The relation between Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) and Graves Disease (GD) is not well known. In the current case, recovery from hyperthyroidism by propylthiouracil (PTU) coincided with the platelet count improvement to a tolerable level. To the literature, this is the first case of GD-GO associated with ITP responding to antithyroid-PTU therapy.
