Abstract: We are reporting the case of a 59-years-old male with symptomatic, bilateral, gigantic extracranial carotid artery aneurysms, treated with excision and synthetic graft interposition. The multimodality imaging findings (on ultrasound, Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS), Multidetector Computed Tomography Angiography (MDCTA) and contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) are also included. Aneurysms of the common carotid artery are rather rare, with an unclear etiology, while the bilateral presentation increases additionally the sparseness of the finding. We review the recent literature concerning the epidemiology, the clinical management and the treatment options of the abovementioned condition.
