High Prevalence of Antiphospholipid Antibodies in Children with Idiopathic Cerebral Ischemia
Pediatrics 94:500-503, Angelini,L.,et al, 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Ten(76%)of the 13 patients were positive for either LA or aCL.No differences were found between aPL-positive and aPL-negative patients with respect to clinical manifestations or radiological features.Six(46%)of the 13 patients had a history of multiple ischemic events.Our results show a very high prevalence of aPLs in children with idiopathic cerebral ischemia.Because the presence of these antibodies has relevant therapeutic implications,their determination in children with cerebral ischemia is recommended.
