ResumenEl sindrome antifosfolipídico es una trombofilia adquirida, de etiología autoinmune, considerada actualmente una enfermedad sistémica. Exponemos el caso clínico de una paciente joven con diagnóstico de SAF que presentó una endocarditis trombótica no bacteriana como afectación cardiovascular-valvular con complicación embólica y accidente cerebrovascular (ACV) consecuente. Revisamos la literatura destacando los mecanismos fisiopatológcos que permiten comprender la enfermedad y sus complicaciones, los elementos diagnósticos y su valor pronóstico así como las diferentes opciones terapéuticas tanto médicas como quirúrgicas.
