Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is a very severe form of the classic antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Although CAPS occurs in less than 1% of all patients with APS, it is considered a life-threatening condition. This report highlights an interesting case of a 45-year-old male diagnosed with CAPS. Unfortunately, the diagnosis was followed by devastating complications. Moreover, this report tried to gather the significant medical information available about CAPS in light of the obvious shortage of epidemiology, signs, symptoms, mechanisms of action and options of treatment in relation to the current guidelines.
灾难性抗磷脂综合征（CAPS）是经典抗磷脂综合征（APS）的一种非常严重的形式。尽管CAPS在所有APS患者中发生率不到1%，但它被认为是一种危及生命的疾病。本报告重点介绍了一例有趣的病例，一名45岁男性被诊断为CAPS。不幸的是，确诊后出现了灾难性的并发症。此外，鉴于目前指南中关于CAPS的流行病学、体征、症状、作用机制和治疗选择明显不足，本报告试图收集有关CAPS的重要医学信息。
