摘要
An abnormal increase in anti-beta(2)-gycoprotein I antibodies (a beta (2)GPI) is capable of producing thrombosis and the vasculopathy-simulating antiphospholipid antibody (aPL). However, it is rarely described in cerebral ischemia without an association with aPL. The authors report a middle-aged man who experienced recurrent cerebral ischemia and diffuse cerebral stenosis without the apparent traditional cardiovascular risk factor. He was free of antiphospholipid/cofactor syndrome (APCS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). An increase of blood a beta (2)GPI was detected in serial measurements. The aPL, Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test, Coombs' test, and antinuclear factor were negative. Activated partial thromboplastin time was normal. This patient is a reminder to consider a beta (2)GPI in an unexplained recurrent cerebral thrombosis and cerebral artery stenosis even when the typical clinical manifestation or laboratory data of APCS is absent.
