The patients with PAPS were older and have more fetal looses than SAPS. The risk of recurrence venous thrombosis was major than arterial thrombosis. Conclusions: anthiphospholipid syndrome have a big spectrum of clinicals manifestation afecting any organ. The association with autoinmune disease can create subgroups of this disease.
