Key result
Right hemisyndrome presentation highlights APS as a potential cause of acute neurologic deficits.
Why the study?
Neurological manifestations of antiphospholipid syndrome are diverse and recognizing it as a cause of right hemisyndrome is important for early diagnosis and management.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the importance of recognizing antiphospholipid syndrome as a potential cause of right hemisyndrome to ensure early diagnosis and management.
May warrant considering APS in elderly hemisyndrome; single case leaves open need for prospective validation.
Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by antiphospholipid antibodies, which can lead to both arterial and venous thrombosis. Neurological manifestations of antiphospholipid syndrome are diverse and can include stroke, seizures, and transient ischemic attacks. We present the case of an elderly patient with right hemisyndrome secondary to underlying antiphospholipid syndrome. This report aims to highlight the importance of recognizing antiphospholipid syndrome as a potential cause of neurologic deficits, precisely right hemisyndrome, and to emphasize the need for early diagnosis and appropriate management.

Raza et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Right hemisyndrome secondary to antiphospholipid syndrome (n=1). Antiphospholipid syndrome was evaluated. A 61-year-old female with a history of antiphospholipid syndrome presented with right hemisyndrome, emphasizing APS as a potential cause of acute neurologic deficits.
