Abstract
- Antibodies to cardiolipin and other phospholipid have been associated with recurrent thrombotic events, including ischemic strokes, especially in children and young adults. Recently it has been shown that anti-beta2-glycoprotein I antibodies may be more specific in predicting thrombosis. We report a case of anterior spinal artery syndrome with elevated titer of antibodies to beta2-glycoprotein I in young adult.
