Comments, Opinions, and Reviews Cerebrovascular Ischemia Associated With Lupus Anticoagulant
The lupus anticoagulant, an acquired circulating serum y-globulin, prolongs all phospholipid-dependent coagulation tests. Recent associations of the lupus anticoagulant and focal cerebral and/or ocular ischemia have been made. We present 5 cases of lupus anticoagulant-associated cerebrovascular ischemia and review all reported cases for the first time. Clinical spectra, cerebral angiographic fi...
متن کاملEpilepsy associated with lupus anticoagulant
INTRODUCTION Lupus anticoagulant (LA) is commonly present in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who present with an ischemic cerebral stroke. Reports have noted the presence of LA in patients with epilepsy who do not have SLE. These patients are usually elderly, and it has been postulated that their epilepsy is due to subclinical ischemic infarcts. METHODS Two cases are presente...
متن کاملLupus anticoagulant associated with extracranial internal carotid artery occlusion.
To the Editor Some cases of lacunar infarction with middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis may be explained by the Bernoulli principle. In a constant flow system, the smaller the cross-sectional area, the greater the flow velocity, and the lower the perfusion pressure. If the flow were turbulent, the pressure would be lower still. Thus, if the origin of a lenticulostriate artery were within a st...

متن کاملAnti-dsDNA, anti-Sm antibodies, and the lupus anticoagulant: significant factors associated with lupus nephritis.
BACKGROUND Lupus nephritis (LN) is a common manifestation in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Autoantibodies and ethnicity have been associated with LN, but the results are controversial. OBJECTIVE To study the immunological and demographic factors associated with the development of LN. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective case-control study of 127 patients with biopsy-prov...
