Abstract:

Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) is characterized by arterial and/or venous thrombosis independent of the size of the vessels. Deep veinthrombosis, pulmonary embolism and cerebrovascular thromboembolism represent the most frequent clinical manifestations while adrenal vessels are very rarely involved.Here we describe the case of a young male with primary APS who developed acute adrenal failure due to bilateral hemorrhage and we underline that full anticoagulation is the therapy of choice in patients with bleeding and high thrombophilic profile.
