Case Report: Primary catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome in a pediatric patient with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis as the first manifestation

CAPS in children is rare and associated with a high mortality rate, making early recognition and diagnosis critical but difficult. Based on the presented case, we recommend routine screening for antiphospholipid antibodies in children with CVST without obvious triggers, or a multidisciplinary collaboration, to facilitate the early diagnosis of CAPS.
