    Abstract:
    We present a 15-year-old boy with massive venous thrombosis who was admitted to hospital with non-specific complaints. Transesophageal echocardiography and spiral computer tomography showed pulmonary embolism. A coagulation screen was performed to identify hypercoagulability. Lupus anticoagulant was detected and the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome was established. Therapeutic options in such condition are discussed and review of the relevant literature is presented.
