  ABSTRACT: Immunologic thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease associated with the production of autoantibodies against specific platelet membrane glycoproteins. A thrombotic event as an unusual occurrence during ITP is becoming more and more frequent. In fact, several recent studies have shown an increased thrombotic risk in this situation. The case presented here is that of a fifty-one-year-old woman with extensive cerebral venous thrombosis 2 years after her ITP diagnosis. During IT, thrombosis may be triggered by the release of pro-thrombotic platelet micro-particles and by platelet activation due to the interaction between autoantibodies and platelet glycoproteins. Immunosuppressive therapy has also been linked in several studies to the thrombotic phenomenon. Increased thromboembolic risk should be taken into account in all ITP patients.
