Abdominal Thrombotic and Ischemic Manifestations of the Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome: CT Findings in 42 Patients

Abstract

Patients who have circulating antiphospholipid antibodies are at risk for major abdominal vascular thromboses and organ infarction. Radiologists must be familiar with this syndrome; they may be the first physicians to suggest the diagnosis on the basis of findings of unusual or recurrent sites of thrombosis, especially in young patients.
