Multiple transient ischemic attacks, lupus anticoagulant and verrucous endocarditis

JG D'Alton, DN Preston, J Bormanis, MS Green and GR Kraag

A young adult with lupus anticoagulant and systemic lupus erythematosus had onset of multiple transient ischemic attacks four years after a major left hemispheric infarct. The symptoms were stereotyped, recurred several times daily over three years and ceased when aspirin was added to steroid therapy. It is speculated that her symptoms were due to recurrent embolism from the heart in the presence of a thrombotic state.
