SERNA-TREJOS, Juan Santiago; NEIRA-RUIZ, Laura Carolina  and  BERMUDEZ-MOYANO, Stefanya Geraldine. Atypical presentation of antiphospholipid síndrome. Rev. virtual Soc. Parag. Med. Int.

Antiphospholipid syndrome is considered a collagen disorder associated with clinical presentations at intermediate ages with incidences of no more than 5 cases per 100,000 people. Its clinical spectrum ranges from the presence of multisystem thrombotic manifestations of vascular origin. However, non-vascular manifestations have a rare spectrum in their usual presentation. The case of a 64-year-old man with ocular manifestations related to amaurosis fugax associated with retinal structural alterations is presented. The findings of screening performed were strongly suggestive of primary thrombophilia. A profile for antiphospholipid syndrome was applied, which was positive and therefore, full anticoagulation was initiated.

Keywords : antiphospholipid syndrome; antiphospholipid antibodies; retinal vein occlusion; amaurosis fugax.
