Arterial ischemic stroke (AIS), with an estimated incidence of 1.1–4.3 per 100,000, is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children and the risk of recurrence is high. We present the case of an 11-year-old child who presented with a symptomatology of acute ischemic stroke of unknown etiology. The radiological investigation did not reveal any underlying brain abnormality that could cause the event. The diagnostic work up included an echocardiogram, which revealed a thrombus in the right atrium, in conjunction with a patent foramen ovale. The patient was initiated immediately on anticoagulation therapy with low molecular weight heparin and warfarin, but two days later she suffered pulmonary emboli, diagnosed with spiral thorax computed tomography (CT) scan. An ultrasound study of the vessels of the lower extremitiesgcsp201817-main-client.xml revealed deep venous thrombosis (DVT), which was considered to be the underlying causative mechanism.
