ABSTRACT
The case of a 50 year-old patient with a cerebral infarct related to a deficit in type II C protein is described. The patient showed no other vascular risk factor and the cardiological study, which included a transthoracic and a transoesophagic echogram ruled out the presence of embologenic cardiopathy. A family study detected the presence of a deficit of C protein in 6 of the 8 sons and in the patient's sister who had a deep vein thrombosis at the age of 54. A hereditary deficiency in C protein was confirmed. We consider it necessary to perform hypercoagulability studies which include the determination of C protein in patients under 55 years of age with cerebral infarcts of unknown cause, especially when there is a family history of thrombosis.
