Özet
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by arterial and venous thrombosis. Early diagnosis and initiation of thromboprophylaxis reduce the risk of recurrent thrombosis. In this report, we presented a case with no known systemic disease but diagnosed as primary APS based on retinal ischemia findings in fluorescein angiography and optic coherence tomography angiography. The aim of this report is to emphasize that APS, which causes thrombosis in vital organs, can occur with retinal ischemia and that the diagnosis of the disease by an ophthalmologist can be life-saving.
