Rete mirabile is a normal vascular network in the carotid artery distribution of some vertebrates, but is an abnormal and extremely rare finding in humans. We describe a 40-year-old male with a carotid and vertebral rete mirabile manifesting as cerebrovascular disorder. This was the second case of carotid and vertebral rete mirabile in man.
