Abstract
We describe a case of duplication of the left internal carotid artery from a point 1 cm distal to the origin to the proximal petrous segment where the vessel reunites. Duplication and fenestration of the intern al carotid artery are discussed. A review of embryologic development i s presented. Identification of these entities is important, especially in patients who require surgical intervention involving the internal carotid artery.
