title: Coiling of the carotid arteries.
abstract: We have presented a case of extensive coiling of both common carotid arteries in which surgical reconstruction on the most severely affected side relieved symptoms of cerebrovascular insufficiency. The underlying lesion is believed to be congenital, and surgical correction is recommended in symptomatic patients.
