ABSTRACT
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) has received considerable attention due to its association with a thrombophilic disorder. Thrombotic events associated with this syndrome most often involve the venous system and occasionally the arterial system such as the cerebral, coronary, renal, and retinal arteries. Few reports on mesenteric artery thrombosis associated with APS are documented. We report a case of a 45 year old male diagnosed with superior mesenteric artery thrombosis associated with APS. The patient had symptoms of chronic mesenteric ischemia including postprandial abdominal pain, weight loss and diarrhea, and was positive for lupus anticoagulant antibody. An abdominal CT showed superior mesenteric arterial thrombosis and luminal narrowing. Symptoms were improved after anticoagulant therapy.
