Bilateral large cavernous sinus internal carotid aneurysms (CCAs) occur very rarely. While the choice of treatment method is important, the timing of contralateral side treatment is equally important. We herein report the case of a 72-year-old woman who presented with progressive bilateral visual impairment and was treated by two-stage. First, the left CCAs had been treated, and the aneurysm was thrombosed, but her left visual acuity did not recover; the right CCA was becoming larger 2 years later, and her right visual acuity began worsening. The right CCAs was treated by almost same method. Her right visual acuity improved compared with the second preoperative findings. Our case findings suggest the importance of considering the appropriate timing to avoid symptom aggravation in patients with bilateral CCAs.

D002426 Cavernous Sinus An irregularly shaped venous space in the dura mater at either side of the sphenoid bone. Sinus, Cavernous
D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.

D002548 Cerebral Revascularization Microsurgical revascularization to improve intracranial circulation. It usually involves joining the extracranial circulation to the intracranial circulation but may include extracranial revascularization (e.g., subclavian-vertebral artery bypass, subclavian-external carotid artery bypass). It is performed by joining two arteries (direct anastomosis or use of graft) or by free autologous transplantation of highly vascularized tissue to the surface of the brain.
