Description
Summary:	The case of a 39 years old woman with acute transverse myelitis manifested as a syndrome of the anterior spinal artery is presented. Etiologic investigation diagnosed a primary antiphospholipid syndrome because of the finding of significantly high titers of anticardiolipin antibodies discarding the presence of systemic lupus erythematosus for the lack of sufficient diagnostic criteria. The association between both clinical pictures is infrequent.
