Abstract
We present a 4-year-old child who suffered bilateral third nerve palsi es secondary to bilateral giant saccular cavernous carotid artery aneu rysms. Endovascular treatment was performed by means of direct endosac cular aneurysm occlusion on the right side and parent vessel occlusion on the left, using mechanically detachable coils. No complication occ urred during or after the procedure. The bilateral third nerve palsies resolved over 3 months. Follow-up angiography at 1 year is presented.
