Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) classically presents with venous or
arterial thrombosis and pregnancy morbidity. Although clinical

thrombi, systemic inflammatory diseases such as APS should be

Ebstein anomaly, a rare congenital heart disease, is defined as
displacement of hinge points of septal or posterior tricuspid leaflets
but not anterior leaflet. Here we report a 35 year old lady with an
extremely rare pattern of EA with all three tricuspid leaflets displaced
downward to the apex.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
