Abstract:
The antiphospholipid syndrome in obstetrics represents a striking model of maternofetal pathology related to systemic and intraplacental thrombosis. Two pro-coagulant antibodies are now well known: lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibody. Therapy is preventive and efficient. It is based on a cautious choice from three drugs: aspirin, heparin, and corticosteroids.
