Neurology, 1994•AAN EnterprisesProtein C and protein S deficiencies increase the risk of venous thrombosis and pulmonary
embolism, but their role in arterial thrombosis or embolism is controversial. We describe
cerebral ischemia in two young women in a family with inherited deficiencies of both
proteins C and S and provide evidence that a combined deficiency of proteins C and S may
be a high risk factor for ischemic stroke in young adults.
