Stroke in young poses a major health problem. Thrombophilic factors have been implicated in 4-8% of the young strokes worldwide. Protein S deficiency is a rare cause of recurrent ischemic stroke in young population. Only a few sporadic cases have been described in the literature. We are reporting a case of protein S deficiency-related recurrent ischemic stroke in a 16-year-old girl. Early diagnosis and targeted approach can help such patients to prevent recurrent thrombotic episodes.
年轻人中风是一个重大的健康问题。全球范围内，4%至8%的年轻中风患者与血栓形成倾向因素有关。蛋白S缺乏是年轻人群复发性缺血性中风的罕见病因。文献中仅描述了少数散发病例。我们报告一例16岁女孩因蛋白S缺乏导致的复发性缺血性中风病例。早期诊断和针对性治疗有助于此类患者预防血栓复发事件。
