abstract: Stroke or cerebro-vascular disease is one of the most important causes of high morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Stroke in young individuals poses a major problem as these individuals are the earning members of the family. Ischemic strokes are increasingly being attributed to causes other than athero-thrombotic disease. Protein S deficiency is a disorder with increased risk of venous thrombosis.
