Six patients with high level of anticardiolipin antibodies were hospitalized for ischaemic strokes or transient ischaemic attacks. The clinical findings in these cases varied greatly. In three ischaemic episodes were recurrent. In two stroke developed at old age without prodromal symptoms. In two females the vascular involvement was generalized. Although the role of anticardiolipin antibodies in the pathogenesis of vascular changes of the central nervous system is not yet clear it is thought that they may be a risk factor for stroke.
