Abstract
The discovery of an asymptomatic and spontaneous internal carotid occlusion in a young HIV-infected patient, without atherosclerosis, asks the question of cardio-vascular disease's mechanism. A pro-atherogenic profile HAART-associated does not fully explain the high cardio-vascular disease's incidence among the HIV infected population. Carotid stenosis and/or thrombophilic conditions are emergent problems among HIV-infected persons.
