Glanzmann thrombasthenia is an autosomal and recessively inherited disorder resulting from abnormality in the first step of thrombosis. In cases associated with hemorrhagic diathesis and ecchymotic mucocutaneous lesions, Glanzmann thrombasthenia should be taken into account in differential diagnosis if thrombocyte count is normal and bleeding duration is too long. In this study, we present the case of a pair of twins in which one of the siblings was lost in the uterus while the other had sepsis along with common intravascular coagulopathy and was eventually diagnosed with Glanzmann thrombasthenia.
