Cerebral venous thrombosis and chronic active hepatitis as part of the antiphospholipid syndrome.

Specific neurological syndromes have been reported in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies.'"2 Chronic active hepatitis as part of the antiphospholipid syndrome has been described in only two patients.34 We report the combination of sinus vein thrombosis together with chronic active hepatitis in a young woman with antiphospholipid syndrome. This patient was 13 months post-partum and still lactating; this may have contributed to her hypercoagulable state. Such a rare manifestation of the antiphospholipid syndrome has not previously been described.
