Abstract
- Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome is characterized by recurrent fetal loss, neurologic dysfunction, arterial and venous thrombosis, and systemic and pulmonary hypertension associated with antiphospholipid antibodies. We observed a large visible thrombus in the descending aorta leading to multiple systemic embolism in a patient with antiphospholipid antibody without other risk factors for thrombosis. We assume that this thombus is associated with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.
