ROMERO, Camilo Andrés  and  ORTIZ SALAS, Paola Andrea. Capsular Warning Syndrome Associated with Antiphospholipid Syndrome: Case Report. Rev. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.2, pp.293-299. ISSN 1692-7273.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revsalud13.02.2015.10.

The capsular warning syndrome is defined as recurrent and stereotyped transient ischemic attacks that manifest themselves with motor and/or sensory symptoms. Generally, injuries take place in the small vessel of the internal capsule. Between 40 and 60% of cases will have a stroke.The pathophysiological process is still unknown, and despite some success cases, there is no consensus for the optimal management of the condition.This case of the capsular warning syndrome is presented in a patient with a history of antiphospholipid syndrome. To date, there are no published cases describing the correlation between these two conditions.

Keywords : Capsular warning syndrome; antiphospholipid syndrome; recurrent transient attacks.
