Neonatal thrombosis is considered a rare manifestation with unclear aetiology. We reported a neonatal lupus of a Sjogren's syndrome mother with recurrent miscarriage secondary to antiphospholipid syndrome; seronegative to anticardiolipin antibodies, lupus anticoagulant and B2GP1. She was serologically positive to antiphosphatidylethanolamine and antiprothrombin antibodies, anti-SSA/Ro and anti-SSB/La. The neonate developed neonatal lupus complicated with right ventricular thrombus assumed to be induced by maternal transmission of antiphosphatidylethanolamine and antiprothrombin antibodies, treated successfully with tissue plasminogen activator and warfarin.
