Prethrombotic Disorders in Children with Arterial Ischemic Stroke and Sinovenous Thrombosis
Arch Neurol 56:967-971, Bonduel,M.,et al, 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
One or more prethrombotic disorders were present in 9 children (30%) with AIS (inherited protein S deficiency, 2 patients; inherited protein C deficiency, 1 patient; acquired antithrombin deficiency, 2 patients; antiphospholipid antibodie s and plasminogen deficiency, 1 patient). Most children studied presented both a variety of risk factors for thrombosis and concomitant prethrombotic disorders. Therefore, a complete hemostatic evaluation for all children with AIS and SVT should be perf ormed, despite the presence of obvious clinical risk factors or lack of family history of thrombosis.
