ABSTRACT
Coagulopathies are a relatively common cause of young-age stroke. We present herein a 15-year-old male who was admitted for acute cerebral infarction with dysarthria and weakness of the right side. He had previously been diagnosed with autosomal dominant protein-S deficiency. His left internal carotid artery was totally occluded. Emergency mechanical thrombolysis resulted in recanalization of that occluded artery and consequent improvement in symptoms. The patient was discharged with an oral anticoagulant.
