Welches Homöopathikum wohl diese Erstverschlimmerung
ausgelöst haben mag?

BACKGROUND: The antiphospholipid (Huges) syndrome is a complication of 
connective tissue diseases characterized by thromboembolic occlusions of 
arterial and venous blood vessels. 

CASE REPORT: At the age of 13, the patient developed connective tissue disease 
with arthritis and myositis. The course of her disease was characterized by 
frequent relapses despite immunosuppressive treatment. She developed deep 
venous thrombosis of her right leg as a manifestation of secondary 
antiphospholipid antibody syndrome at the age of 15 and was subsequently 
started on oral anticoagulation therapy. 

Approximately 10 months later, however, she decided to try alternative 
medicine and stopped both anticoagulation and immunosuppressive therapy. 

Only after 4 weeks she developed seizures followed by respiratory arrest with 
the need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Despite intensive care she died 2 
days later with the signs of severe cerebral edema causing herniation of the 
brainstem.

Autopsy confirmed the diagnosis of severe edema of the brain as a result of 
extensive thrombosis of all sinus veins. 

CONCLUSION: A complete sinus vein thrombosis is a rare manifestation of 
antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. The lethal thrombosis in this case 
occurred during a period of reactive hypercoagulability after termination of 
immunosuppressive and/or anticoagulation therapy. This case report underlines 
the need for long-term anticoagulation in patients with the antiphospholipid 
syndrome.
