Abstract :
Anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune-mediated thrombophilia characterized by recurrent
thrombotic events, particularly affecting young adults. It is linked to the presence of anti-phospholipid antibodies that
interfere with normal coagulation pathways, leading to abnormal blood clot formation. This case report discusses a rare
occurrence of APS in a middle-aged male who presented with recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Comprehensive
diagnostic evaluation, management strategies, and follow-up protocols are elaborated to provide insights into this complex
clinical entity.
