I was told that I have neurological APS as I had a stroke in 2006 and MRI found six lesions in the brain. I wonder if that is what they meant by cerebral APS which means that your head is affected. Not completely sure what they mean Much love MaryH

Hi

Cerebal APS means that you have had either ischaemic infarction of part of the brain or from intracerebral haemorrhage (so you had either a blod clot on the cebral part of your brain or you had a bleed in this part of the brain).

thanks

Paddy
