Intracardiac thrombosis and antiphospholipid antibodies: a case report and review of the literature.

Abstract:

:A case report and review of the literature are reported concerning the relationship of intracardiac thrombosis and antiphospholipid antibody syndromes. Nine cases are identified, divided into three categories: three patients had antiphospholipid syndrome associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, three had primary antiphospholipid syndrome, and three had probable secondary antiphospholipid syndrome. All had intracardiac thrombosis. All patients were women, and the average age was 36 years. Although intracardiac thrombosis appears to be an unusual association with antiphospholipid antibody syndromes, young women with embolic events should be evaluated for antiphospholipid antibodies and intracardiac source of embolus.
