We report an unusual case of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection initially presenting with
hypothermia
and bradycardia associated with an
HIV encephalitis
. Searches reveal only five reported cases of spontaneous episodic
hypothermia
in the context of HIV infection. In our case, magnetic resonance imaging revealed the presence of a persistent cavum septum pellucidum (CSP), an anatomical and functional neuro-developmental abnormality, as well as changes compatible with an
HIV encephalitis
. Episodic
hypothermia
can occur in association with agenesis of the corpus callosum, known as Shapiro's syndrome, and the presence of a persistent CSP in our case suggests it may have contributed to the clinical presentation.
