Acute ischemic stroke is a pathology of great complexity due to the implications and impact on the quality of life of the affected population. The incidence of this pathology is higher in older adults and in people with cardiovascular risk factors. There is a group of young patients with no risk factors who present these events. Therefore, in clinical practice, hereditary thrombophilias tend to be frequently evaluated as the main etiological factor for this age group. However, there are few cases where a disorder of this type is documented and the presence of other etiologies such as cardioembolism and vascular disorders are more frequent. Thus, the evaluation of thrombophilia is complex due to its high cost, technical limitations when evaluating, and its uncertain clinical and therapeutic impact when documented. For this reason, this review is carried out in order to guide the clinician about the relevance of objectifying these conditions in young patient with acute ischemic stroke

Keywords : Acute CVA; young patient; thrombophilia.
