Disseminated thrombosis in primary antiphospholipid syndrome: MR findings

Eur J Radiol. 1998 Feb;26(3):244-7. doi: 10.1016/s0720-048x(96)01154-0.

Abstract

We report the MR imaging findings in a patient with primary antiphospholipid syndrome, adrenal infarction and widespread thrombosis involving abdominal, pelvic, and pulmonary vessels. This syndrome should be suspected in patients with thromboses and organ infarctions of otherwise undetermined etiology.
