Abstract:
We describe a young girl with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and moyamoya-like cerebrovascular changes which reversed after anticoagulation. Although there was a risk of hemorrhage from collateral vessels, we speculate that this treatment may have prevented progression of the vascular abnormalities, while resolution of the thrombus resulted in improved cerebrovascular circulation.
