ABSTRACT
Antiphospholipid antibody (APLA) syndrome, which is presented by seizure, is uncommon. Most seizures in APLA syndrome are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or other autoimmune diseases. Its pathophysiology is not clear; however, many authorities suggest that autoantibodies related to APLA syndrome are related to an ischemic change in the brain. We experienced a man with APLA syndrome, who presented with a seizure, but he had no evidence of an ischemic change in the brain. He underwent conservative management for 2 weeks and was discharged. He was admitted twice due to seizure. One year later, he had a cerebrovascular attack and was hospitalized.
