For young patients who have no reason to clot, it's good to know which diagnostic tests you should send, when you should send them, and how they can be erroneously interpreted. Dr. Kristy Yuan, a vascular neurologist from the University of Pennsylvania, summarizes her approach in this week's clinical case.

Produced by James E. Siegler and Kristy Yuan. Music by Chris Zabriskie, How the Night Came, Doctor Turtle, and Swelling. Sound effects by Mike Koenig and Daniel Simion.
