Core Tip
Core Tip: Acute vascular occlusion following blunt trauma has been reported in a few trauma patients. We describe a case diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome after a hypercoagulable workup for acute multivascular occlusion due to blunt trauma. In trauma patients with acute multivascular occlusion or a hypercoagulable state, especially in young patients with low cardiovascular risk, a hypercoagulable workup may help evaluate other risk factors.
