TLDR Anti-phospholipid antibodies in SLE can cause thrombosis and bone necrosis.

A 38-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) experienced multiple aseptic bone necroses and thrombosis of several arteries, including a complete obstruction of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Despite conservative treatment, surgical intervention was required to resect parts of the small intestine and right colon. The presence of anti-cardiolipin and lupus anticoagulant antibodies suggested that the thrombosis was related to anti-phospholipid antibodies. The case highlighted the association between anti-phospholipid antibodies and both thrombosis and bone necrosis in SLE patients.
