Ischemic stroke associated with anticardiolipin antibodies.
Anticardiolipin antibodies are a group of antiphospholipid autoantibodies seen primarily in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune diseases. We report 3 patients, 2 without systemic lupus, who suffered ischemic brain infarction associated with these antibodies in the absence of detectable lupus anticoagulant activity. Anticardiolipin antibodies, possibly associated with...
متن کاملCerebrovascular ischemic events with high positive anticardiolipin antibodies.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of our study was to characterize the patient profile and prognostic value associated with high positive IgG (>100 GPL) anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL). METHODS We studied the clinical, laboratory, radiological, and prospective historical features of ischemic cerebrovascular disease in patients with >100 GPL titers. From our neurology department, 27 consecutive ...
متن کاملProspective study of anticardiolipin antibodies in stroke.
Over 2 years, 104 patients underwent clinical evaluation and laboratory screening for the presence of abnormal anticardiolipin antibodies to determine the profile of laboratory and clinical findings in patients with stroke and other neurologic disorders. Seven with incomplete or ambiguous data were excluded; of the remaining 97 patients, 31 were greater than or equal to 65 years old. Nine patie...
متن کاملMultiple cerebral infarctions and dementia associated with anticardiolipin antibodies.
Antibodies to negatively charged phospholipids including cardiolipin have been recognized in the sera of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and other disorders. We report 4 patients who experienced cerebral infarctions and dementia in association with anticardiolipin antibodies. These patients did not have the characteristic lupus anticoagulant or systemic lupus erythematosus. The occur...
متن کاملRecurrent acute transverse myelopathy associated with anticardiolipin antibodies.
In three patients with recurrent episodes of acute transverse myelopathy, spinal MR imaging during each episode showed areas of hyperintensity on proton density- and T2-weighted images with inconsistent contrast enhancement. Cranial MR imaging, laboratory screenings, and CSF analysis showed only increased titers of anticardiolipin antibodies. Although a causative role in neurologic conditions h...
