title: Bilateral spontaneous dissecting aneurysm of the internal carotid arteries: report of two cases.
abstract: Spontaneous dissection (dissecting aneurysm) of the internal carotid artery is a common cause of ischemic stroke in young patients. Very infrequently, dissecting aneurysm of the internal carotid artery occurs bilaterally. This paper presents two such cases and discusses in detail variations in the time of occurrence, the angiographic characteristics and possible predisposing factors.
