[Intracardial thrombosis and primary antiphospholipid syndrome. A familial case report].
The main clinical manifestation of antiphospholipid syndrome is repeated thrombotic events in young patients without cardiovascular risk factors. There are several clinical features but the most frequent ones are repeated fetal losses and acute cerebral ischemic events. Cardiac involvement is less frequent. We present a family case with intracardiac thrombosis and secondary cerebral embolism.
