Acute cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is associated with thromboembolism. However, cerebrovascular ischemic events have not been reported in relation to acute CMV infection. A patient with a transient ischemic attack and acute CMV infection is described. Transient appearance of anti‐phospholipid antibodies suggests a causal relationship between the two. Physicians should be alert to symptoms and signs of acute CMV infection in patients with idiopathic cerebrovascular ischemic events. J. Med. Virol. 84:487–489, 2012. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
