Abstract EN

The antiphospholipid thrombosis syndrome is a thrombotic disorder, which can occur in a primary form or more classically in systemic lupus erythromatosus.

We describe for the first time in Jordan a young patient with a complete thrombosis of the right pulmonary artery, a raised serum IgG anticardiolipin antibody and a positive lupus anticoagulant.

An invasive approach of management will be discussed.

The importance of screening for the APL antibodies in patients with thrombotic episode is discussed
