Abstract
- Thrombosis is a well known manifestation in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, along with lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibody and anti beta2-glycoprotein I. We describe here a 44-year-old female with an abdominal aorta thrombosis of SLE and the patient had no antiphospholipid antibodies. She had this unusual site of thrombosis and this was associated with protein C and S deficiency. She had no other cause of thrombosis. After anticoagulant treatment, her thrombosis of the abdominal aorta resolved.
