    Summary

    Lupus anticoagulant (LA), an immunoglobulin causing in vitro anticoagulant activity, is linked to thrombosis. This case highlights LA as a potential cause of recurrent transient ischemic attacks in autoimmune disease patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Neurology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Lupus anticoagulant (LA) is an immunoglobulin associated with various diseases.
    • LA exhibits in vitro anticoagulant activity but is clinically linked to thrombotic events.

    Observation:

    • A patient with autoimmune disease experienced recurrent transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).
    • Extensive investigations ruled out other causes for the TIAs.

    Findings:

    • Lupus anticoagulant (LA) was identified as the sole causative factor for the patient's TIAs.
    • This case underscores the potential role of LA in cerebrovascular disease.

    Implications:

    • Systematic investigation of LA is recommended for cerebrovascular disease, especially in young patients lacking traditional risk factors.

  • Further research is needed to establish the true incidence of LA in these cases and guide therapeutic strategies.
