Abstract
Congenital protein S deficiency is an important risk factor for venous and, more rarely, arterial thrombosis. Here, we describe the case of a 35-year old patient with cerebral ischemia, protein S deficiency and carotid stenosis. Other members of the family were found to have the same protein S deficit and a history of venous thrombotic manifestatio ns.
