A 69-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with photosensitivity, symmetric erosive polyarthritis, and cutaneous vasculitis of lower extremities. Rhupus syndrome was diagnosed, and Chiari's network in the right atrium and interatrial septum patent foramen ovale was achieved on transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. If it is thought that increased prevalence of antiphospholipid antibodies in patients with rhupus, this congenital remnant is important for the thrombosis risk, cardiac event, and stroke. The association of both diseases may lead to more serious events and cause worse prognosis. Here, our aim is to present a 69-year-old female patient with rhupus syndrome presenting with cutaneous vasculitis and Chiari's network in the right atrium.
一名69岁女性患者因光敏反应、对称性侵蚀性多关节炎和下肢皮肤血管炎入住我院门诊。诊断为rhupus综合征，经胸和经食管超声心动图检查发现右心房有Chiari网和房间隔卵圆孔未闭。如果认为rhupus患者抗磷脂抗体患病率增加，那么这种先天性残余结构对于血栓形成风险、心脏事件和中风很重要。两种疾病的关联可能导致更严重的事件并导致更差的预后。在此，我们的目的是介绍一名69岁患有rhupus综合征的女性患者，其表现为皮肤血管炎和右心房Chiari网。
