Summary:
The literature on the incidence of "mirror image" bilateral giant intracavernous aneurysms, their symptoms and their association with other entities is reviewed, with a brief comment on their evolution and treatment. A case of "mirror image" bilateral giant intracavernous aneurysms in a 76-year-old man who presented a sudden diplopia with pupillary sparing is reported. A CT scan showed parasellar images and dolichomega circle of Willis arteries that enhanced with endovenous contrast. MRI and angiography disclose bilateral aneurysms in detail, associated with an anomalous origin of the left common carotid artery and bilateral renal artery stenosis.
