Cholesterol embolization syndrome (CES) is caused by a cholesterol crystal embolization from atherosclerotic plaques on the walls of arteries. It often occurs after an invasive vascular procedure. CES exhibits several cutaneous manifestations before systemic symptoms take place. Here, we report a case of CES, positive for an anti-cardiolipin antibody, with a history of cerebral infarction. The existence of anti-phospholipid antibody may be a risk factor for CES after an invasive vascular procedure.
胆固醇栓塞综合征（CES）由动脉壁上动脉粥样硬化斑块的胆固醇结晶栓塞引起。它常发生在侵入性血管手术后。CES在出现全身症状之前会表现出多种皮肤表现。在此，我们报告一例抗心磷脂抗体阳性的CES病例，患者有脑梗死病史。抗磷脂抗体的存在可能是侵入性血管手术后发生CES的一个危险因素。
