We report the rare case of a 51‐year‐old man with asynchronous (heterochronic) bilateral renal infarction associated with primary antiphospholipid syndrome. He was treated for right renal infarction, but 2 months later, while under anticoagulant treatment, he had a recurrence on the other side of the renal infarction. The laboratory work‐up confirmed antiphospholipid syndrome. Six months later the patient has not experienced any new thrombotic episodes and is receiving oral anticoagulants and antiplatelet therapy.
