Antiphospholipid anti body syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by arterial or venous thrombosis and/or pregnancy morbidity with foetal deaths or abortions in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. Catastrophic antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (CAPS) is an accelerated form of disease with rapid involvement of multiple organ systems often posing a diagnostic challenge. There is a paucity of literature on the presentations of CAPS owing to the orphan nature of the disease.
