Abstract
|
|
|
|
Spontaneous visceral hemorrhage is a rare complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We report here on a 55-year old male with SLE and who presented with acute abdominal pain due to bleeding of the hepatic artery and the splenic artery. Angiography revealed a spontaneous hemorrhage from branches of the hepatic artery and the splenic artery. We report here on a case of spontaneous recurrent non-traumatic hemorrhage of a visceral artery in a patient with secondary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), and such a condition has not been previously described in a Korean patient with SLE.
