    Author: Paudyal B.
    Journal: J Nepal Health Res Counc; 2010 Apr; 8(1):51-4. PubMed ID: 21879016.
    Abstract:
    Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disease that presents with recurrent arteriovenous thrombosis, repeated pregnancy loss and elevated titres of antiphospholipid antibodies in the blood. It is a common cause of acquired thrombosis and can manifest within any part of the vascular tree. Inferior Venacava thrombosis at outset, however, is not a common manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus associated-antiphospholipid syndrome particularly in children. Here, we present a 14-year old girl who developed antiphospholipid syndrome as a presenting manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus.
