A case of primary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome presenting with dysfunctional uterine bleeding and cerebral infarction.
We report a 34-year-old woman who developed primary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) presenting with dysfunctional uterine bleeding and cerebral infarction. Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome presenting with bleeding manifestations is rare. We should recognize that APS may be associated with not only thrombosis but also bleeding.
