Abstract
Recently the association of recurrent spontaneous abortions and intrauterine fetal death was linked to the lupus anticoagulant (LA). LA is an immunoglobulin directed against phospholipid, causing characteristic changes in coagulation tests, and is associated with an increased risk of thrombosis. We treated a pregnant woman who presented with an embolic stroke and laboratory evidence of LA.
