Adrenal hemorrhage is a classical but rare complication of antiphospholipid syndrome, revealing diagnosis in one third of the cases. Anti-vitamin K therapy is the standard treatment but direct oral anticoagulants are discussed as an alternative. In the latest recommendations, it is advised not to use direct oral anticoagulants in the setting of antiphospholipid syndrome. We present a case of bilateral adrenal hemorrhage revealing primary antiphospholipid syndrome with triple positive antibody profile, in 53-year-old women treated by apixaban for previous venous thromboembolism.
