title: Retinal migraine, chorea, and retinal artery thrombosis in a patient with primary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.
abstract: We report the case of a patient with the unusual combination of migraine, chorea, and retinal arterial thrombosis along with laboratory evidence of autoimmunity. In the absence of systemic lupus erythematosus, the clinical manifestations suggest the presence of the primary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.
