Stroke in an Infant; Its Association with Antiphospholipid Antibody and Acquired Protein C and S Deficiencies
Abstract
We present the first reported case of antiphospholipid syndrome with stroke in an Iranian boy (7-month-old) who had two ischemic strokes within a period of 2 months. Serum anticardiolipid antibody was positive and the patient had low levels of protein S and C. This case emphasizes the importance of antiphospholipid antibody in children with unexplained ischemic stroke.| Files | ||
