Abstract
As part of a multicenter study on ischemic stroke in the young, we report the occurrence of high antiphospholipid antibody (aPLs) levels and cerebral dissection in 75 patients. These represent the two most frequent non-thromboembolic causes of cerebral ischemia in our population. Increased aPL titres were found in nine cases (12%); cerebral artery dissection in eleven (14%). Our data stress the need to modify the classical diagnostic approach to cerebral ischemia by including hematological assessments and new neuroimaging techniques as screening tests.Entities:
