Antiphospholipid syndrome, also known as Hughes syndrome, is a recently described entity that mimics symptoms of other diseases such as multiple sclerosis. It is a potentially life-threatening autoimmune disorder where the body produces antibodies directed against phospholipids and phospholipid-binding proteins. Herein a patient with successive ocular vascular events associated with antiphospholipid syndrome is presented.
