Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study of all individuals delivering at more than 20 weeks of gestation at four U.S.
Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disease characterised by thrombotic and/or obstetric manifestations with persistent antiphospholipid antibodies. Diagnosis involves confirming the persistence of antiphospholipid antibodies in symptomatic patients, using validated classification criteria as a guide. The likelihood of obtaining false-positive or false-negative test results in certain settings, and the lack of standardisation between laboratory methods, are important considerations.

Introduction: Pregnancy and postpartum are phases in the women's life where the thrombotic risk is increased both on the venous and on the arterial side.
Methods: We are presenting the case of a young woman at the third pregnancy, carried out without complications until delivery, whose postpartum was characterized by the occurrence of headache. Neuroimaging studies were performed, firstly brain computed tomography (CT) with CT Angiography and after brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with MR Angiography.

Patients with acute PE can be risk stratified to guide their monitoring and treatment; this article focuses on intermediate- and high-risk PE.
