Among anti-phospholipid antibodies (APA), anti-cardiolipin antibodies and lupus anticoagulants are associated with arterial and venous thrombo-embolic manifestations. Antiphospholipid antibodies can be secondary to numerous diseases, especially systemic diseases, but they are usually encountered in the primary antiphospholipid syndrome. Neurological manifestations associated with APA are most often, if not always, ischemic in nature: large or small subcortical, often multiple, infarcts and transient ischemic attacks are the usual clinical presentations. Several mechanisms can lead to cerebral ischemia in the primary antiphospholipid syndrome, and their diagnosis is probably important for therapeutic choices. A prospective controlled study has started, which should provide data on the prognosis and management of this syndrome.

D016736 Antiphospholipid Syndrome The presence of antibodies directed against phospholipids (ANTIBODIES, ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID). The condition is associated with a variety of diseases, notably systemic lupus erythematosus and other connective tissue diseases, thrombopenia, and arterial or venous thromboses. In pregnancy it can cause abortion. Of the phospholipids, the cardiolipins show markedly elevated levels of anticardiolipin antibodies (ANTIBODIES, ANTICARDIOLIPIN). Present also are high levels of lupus anticoagulant (LUPUS COAGULATION INHIBITOR).

D017152 Antibodies, Antiphospholipid Autoantibodies directed against phospholipids. These antibodies are characteristically found in patients with certain autoimmune diseases (e.g., SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS and ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME), some non-autoimmune diseases, and also in healthy individuals.
