Abstract
The case of a young, male patient hospitalized for investigation of a cerebral vascular accident is reported. The investigations led to the diagnosis of disseminated lupus erythematosus associated with the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (lupus circulating anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibody). The authors discuss certain notions relating to antiphospholipid antibodies and the thromboembolic, particularly neurological, manifestations thereof.
