Immune thrombocytopenic purpura is characterized by an unexplained reduction in platelet count and is infrequently linked with autoimmune diseases, particularly Grave's disease. This rare association can lead to diagnostic challenges, with Grave's disease often remaining undetected in patients presenting with ITP. Addressing the underlying Grave's disease in patients with ITP can result in an improvement in thrombocytopenia. We report on a patient with undiagnosed Grave's disease, which was discovered when she presented with immune thrombocytopenic purpura.
