Abstract
Introduction: The etiology of giant aneurysms is multifactorial. It becomes symptomatic in 9/100.000, most frequently in the fifth and sixth decades of the life. Intracavernous carotid artery aneurysms (ICAAs) represent less than 1% of intracranial aneurysms and show a slight female predominance. Case-Report: We report an interesting case of bilateral ICAA in 42-year-old female presented as acute diplopia and emphasize the need of a thorough systemic evaluation in young patients with diplopia and treated with endovascular coil embolization. A 42-year-old woman was admitted to the neurology department suffering from the unilateral diplopia. Neurological examination showed the left sixth cranial nerve palsy and had no further general motor or sensory symptoms. Digital Subtraction Angiogram (DSA) showed bilateral ophthalmic artery aneurysm. The patient was treated with endovascular loose packing coil embolization and Derivo 3.5x30mm flow diverter stent. Conclusion: It should be kept in mind that intracavernous carotid artery aneurysms may be bilateral in patients with unilateral cranial nerve symptoms.
