Abstract
Budd-Chiari syndrome, hypertension, and thrombocytopenia developed in a 6-year-old girl as manifestations of primary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS). She improved with systemic corticosteroid and anticoagulation therapy. Anticardiolipin antibodies were found in the patient, her mother and 3 siblings, suggesting the importance of genetic factors. The clinical features of an APS in children is reviewed.
