Asherson syndrome

Asherson syndrome is a rare autoimmune condition characterized by the formation of blood clots in small and large blood vessels, leading to various symptoms. This syndrome is often associated with the antiphospholipid syndrome, where the body mistakenly attacks its own proteins that help regulate blood clotting. Symptoms may include deep vein thrombosis, strokes, skin rashes, and organ dysfunction. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests and imaging studies. Treatment focuses on preventing blood clots with anticoagulant medications and managing any underlying conditions. Early recognition and management are crucial to prevent serious complications.
