Its good to know that your daughter has recovered well.Of course,its possible.Young onset strokes are less common as compared to those in elderly,but are well known.
'Young onset stroke' is an established entity.The cause needs to be established for a young stroke so as to treat the cause and prevent recurrent stroke.
