Idiopathic portal hypertension associated with autoimmune thyroiditis.

A Case Study of Silent Thyroiditis Associated with Idiopathic ُThrombocytopenic Purpura

A 48 Year-old woman had symptoms of thyrotoxicosis which disappeared spontaneously within two months. She was diagnosed as case of silent thyroiditis on the basis of both the clinical course and the laboratory data such as low uptake of radioactive Iodine and Technesium. She also had petechia in her arms which were diagnosed as an idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (I.T.P.). This case would se...

Necrobiosis lipoidica associated with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and positive detection of ANA and ASMA autoantibodies

Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a rare idiopathic cutaneous condition exceptionally associated with autoimmune thyroiditis. We describe the first case of NL, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and positive detection of autoantibodies. Appropriate screening for NL in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis may clarify its real incidence and the existence of a common pathogenetic pathway.

Graves disease associated with chronic idiopathic urticaria: 2 case reports.

Chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) is well known to be associated with antithyroid peroxidase antibodies and autoimmune thyroiditis. Coexisting Graves disease has only rarely been observed. We describe 2 patients with CIU who developed autoimmune hyperthyroidism with antithyrotropin receptor antibodies. Antithyroid peroxidase antibodies were also present in 1 of the patients, but both responded...
