Resumo(s): | Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by recurrent thrombotic events, miscarriages and thrombocytopenia with persistently positive antiphospholipid antibodies.( 1,2 ) APS may be isolated (primary APS) or associated to a connective tissue disease, most often systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).( 1,2 ) APS usually affects young patients before the fifth decade( 3 ) with stroke being the commonest neurological manifestation.( 4 ) Various other neurological manifestations are being recognized in patients with APS including migraine, epilepsy, multi-infarct dementia and chorea.( 2 ) The pathological process underlying the neurological manifestations remains obscure.( 1,2 ) Herein we report a case of primary APS presenting with a group of unusual neurological manifestations in a 68-year-old woman. |
