Autoimmune thyrogastric syndrome is the association between two pathologies of autoimmune origin: pernicious anemia and autoimmune thyroiditis, which usually presents in older adults.

We present the case of a 34-year-old woman who consult about pericardial effusion associated with pancytopenia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency due to autoimmune atrophic gastritis. Autoimmune thyroiditis is diagnosed. She receives treatment with complex B and levothyroxine, with improvement of the effusion.

It is important that in the case of autoimmune pathologies, a systematic search for other diseases of the same lineage is carried out for the best clinical management.

Palabras clave : autoimmune thyrogastric syndrome; pernicious anemia; autoimmune thyroiditis.
