A RARE CASE REPORT OF PRIMARY ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID ANTIBODY SYNDROME
Abstract
Anti phospholipid antibody syndrome , as an acquired pro thrombotic disorder is increasingly being recognised as an important cause of systemic venous and arterial thrombosis . The defining feature of this condition is the presence of raised levels of antibodies to negatively charged phospholipids in the serum. Antibodies may be found in patients who have SLE , syphilis and also rarely in other conditions . We here report a case of primary anti phospholipid syndrome and its ophthalmic manifestations
