title: Hemorrhagic stroke in a child with protein S and factor VII deficiencies.
abstract: A 12-year-old previously healthy male, with a family history of protein S deficiency, presented with confusion, aphasia, and right upper extremity weakness after a 10-day febrile illness. Imaging studies revealed sinovenous thrombosis and left parietal hemorrhagic stroke. On further investigation he was found to have both protein S and factor VII deficiencies.
