Evidence Review

Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is a rare life threatening presentation of antiphospholipid syndrome. Surgery has been proposed as one of the triggering factors for this life threatening entity. There are no detailed published reports in the current literature describing CAPS as a complication after surgery. We report a case of a 21 year old that developed CAPS postoperatively and discuss the multidisciplinary approach for diagnosis and management.
