Resumo

This article reports a female who presented with bleeding, acquired factor VIII and von Willebrand factor (aFVIII-VWF) deficiency, and central deficiency in the thyroid and adrenal axis (Sheehan’s syndrome). After starting hormone replacement therapy, relief of bleeding manifestations was associated with correction of both FVIII and VWF to normal. This report draws attention to a rare association between the acquired form of von Willebrand disease and hypothyroidism of central origin.
