Abstract
Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APLA) is one of the most frequent acquired thrombophilias.Thrombosis can be at both venous and arterial level, are usually recurrent and frequently affect cerebral circulation. We present here a story of a 46 year old female with history of two CVAs in form of a TIA and a Left upper limb monoparesis. Presence of thrombocytopenia made us evaluate in terms of APLA and finally she was diagnosed as Systemic lupus erythematosis and secondary APLA syndrome.
