Summary

Splinter hemorrhages, a potential sign of antiphospholipid syndrome, can occur after medical procedures. This case highlights the importance of recognizing these signs in at-risk patients.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Medicine
  • Rheumatology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disorder associated with an increased risk of thrombosis.
  • Splinter hemorrhages are small, linear hemorrhages under the nails that can indicate various underlying conditions.

Observation:

  • A patient developed splinter hemorrhages after undergoing a radial artery puncture.
  • The hemorrhages appeared in the nail beds following the invasive procedure.

Findings:

  • The occurrence of splinter hemorrhages post-radial artery puncture in this patient suggests a potential link.
  • This finding may be particularly relevant in individuals with known or suspected antiphospholipid syndrome.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider antiphospholipid syndrome in patients presenting with splinter hemorrhages, especially after arterial procedures.
  • Early recognition and management are crucial for preventing thrombotic events in antiphospholipid syndrome.
