Non-traumatic stereotyped postictal purpura is rare. A 25-year-old woman presented with right facial, cheek and periorbital purpuric eruptions that occurred after secondarily generalized tonic-clonic seizures. The stereotyped, invariably right-sided facial skin eruption, which resolved in 48 hours, falsely raised concerns of spousal abuse. Possible pathophysiological mechanisms include: (a) valsalva-induced capillary hypertension with secondary purpura, (b) ictal corticolimbic stimulation of the autonomic nervous innervation of facial vasomotor structures, and (c) trigeminal-mediated local release of vasoactive substances. Although rare, such stereotyped patterns of purpura should be recognized to avoid incorrect attribution of spousal abuse.

The association between thrombocytopenia and thyrotoxicosis is well documented in the medical literature. The theories for this relationship include a common immunologic cause and a thyrotoxic-induced decrease in platelet survival. Twenty-two months ago, we performed a subtotal thyroidectomy on a young woman with both disorders who was referred to us for splenectomy with the sole diagnosis of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). After operation she was weaned from all medications, and she remains euthyroid. Although her platelet count has recently dropped to 80,000/mm3 after a series of upper respiratory infections, she remains free of petechiae and bleeding diathesis. She illustrates two points: thyrotoxicosis should be ruled out in all patients with ITP, and when the two diseases coexist, treatment of the thyrotoxicosis should precede splenectomy. In most instances, this will induce a remission in the ITP that may be permanent.
