Abstract
It is now admitted that Coronavirus is related to vascular complications especially thrombotic ones. Mechanism of thrombotic complications is not fully understood.
Free-floating carotid thrombus is a rare condition and it has been found in numerous cases of COVID-19 patients.
Data related to management of this floating clot is limited. Anticoagulation remains an important pillar of treatment.
We report is this work, a case of a 59-year-old male, hospitalized twice for management of COVID-19 infection in January and March 2021. A free-floating carotid thrombus was discovered and a medical treatment was initiated.
