Background. Cavernous carotid aneurysms (CCA) are rare aneurysms with a relatively benign natural history. The association between CCA aneurysm and ipsilateral Internal carotid artery (ICA) thrombosis or occlusion has not been described previously. The management of patients with these dual lesions is a challenging problem. Case description. In this report, we describe an 18-year-old man who presented with left abducent nerve palsy of 3 weeks duration, and imaging revealed left CCA with left ICA occlusion. The patient was managed conservatively with clinical and imaging follow-up. The patient recovered well with complete resolution of clinical symptoms and disappearance of left CCA. Conclusions. The association of giant CCA and ICA occlusion on the same side is a rare phenomenon with no current consensus on the appropriate follow-up and management strategy. In this report, we described the first case of spontaneous complete disappearance of a giant CCA in the setting of ipsilateral ICA occlusion with complete resolution of symptoms at nine months of follow-up.
