Hemorrhage after treatment of mronj associated with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome

Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by thromboembolic events or pregnancy-related complications caused by antiphospholipid antibodies. The following case reports a patient diagnosed with APS, osteoporosis, and atherosclerosis. The medication for treatment and control of the diseases were warfarin, low-molecular-weight heparin, aspirin, and alendronate. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed an intraoral fistula, with spontaneous purulent drainage in a 2-month previous tooth extraction area and signs of bone sequestrum both compatible with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ).
