ABSTRACT
Carotid free-floating thrombus (FFT) is a rare cause of stroke. The FFT is commonly associated with an atherosclerotic plaque rupture, but other causes need to be examined in young patients. We report a case of 31-year-old male patient with recurrent ischemic stroke caused by carotid FFT. Although initial laboratory test was unremarkable, recurrent stroke events led us to perform additional study and antiphospholipid syndrome (APLS) was diagnosed. Repetitive testing for APLS seems considerable when young patients present with recurrent stroke.
