Abstract

Protein S deficiency is a rare thrombophilia, autosomal dominant disorder leading to VTE especially thrombosis at an uncommon place. Arterial thrombosis and strokes are very rare presentations. We are presenting a case of 19 years old lady with Beckwith Weidemann syndrome who presented with arterial thrombosis with a stroke one month prior to thrombosis. Patient was successfully managed with intravenous heparin and thrombectomy and discharged on Apixaban for life long treatment.
