Abstract:
Lupus Anticoagulants (LA) pathology is a disease frequently associated with venous and/or arterial thrombosis. The authors describe a 6 year-old boy complaining cephalea and emesis, followed by lethargy, in whom antiphospholipids antibodies were detected. Brain magnetic resonance scans showed lesions of the cerebellum. The characteristics of LA disease are discussed.
