  ABSTRACT: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a frequent cause of emergency room admissions, especially during winter days, the symptoms are varied ranging from a simple headache to a serious cardiac and neurological impairment that can be deadly. Diagnosis is based on the circumstances of occurrence as well as the dosage of carboxyhemoglobin in the blood. Exposure to CO has serious consequences, neurological and cardiac manifestations are not negligible and vary from repolarization disorders to heart attack. Treatment is urgent with normobaric or hyperbaric oxygen therapy. We report a case of a 2-year male child admitted to the emergency room for CO intoxication with an intracardiac thrombus subsequently complicated by an ischemic stroke with a fatal outcome in order to highlight this complication rarely described in literature.
