Abstract
A 12-month-old infant presented with cerebral seizures and neurological def icits. MRI scan of the brain and angiography showed massive-cerebral venous sinus thrombosis complicated by a dural arteriovenous fistula. Subsequent clotting analysis revealed a protein S deficiency. Screening for inherited coagulation inhibitor deficiency is recommended in children with unexplaine d or atypical thrombotic events.
