Abstract: A síndrome antifosfolipídica (SAF) é a mais comum das trombofilias adquiridas do adulto jovem. Ocorre de forma primária ou em associação com doenças do conjuntivo, particularmente o lupus eritematoso. A ocorrência de eventos obstétricos em pacientes com SAF é assunto de grande interesse entre profissionais da área da Reumatologia e Gineco- Obstetricia. Abordamos, neste artigo, aspectos conceituais da SAF e os eventos obstétricos (abortamentos recorrentes, pré-eclâmpsia) relacionados à presença dos anticorpos contra fosfolípides. The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is the commonest cause of acquired thrombophylia in young adults. APS presents as a primary disorder or in association with conective tissue diseases, in particular systemic lupus erythematosus. The occurrence of obstetric events in patients with APS is of great interest for professionals of Rheumatology and Obstetrics/Gynaecology. We herein approach conceptual aspects of APS and the obstetric events (recurrent abortions, pre-eclampsia) related to the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies.
