Bilateral intracavernous internal carotid artery aneurysms are rare. They are more common in elderly females and are associated with hypertension. We present the computed tomography angiography findings of an 81-year-old female with history of hypertension who came complaining of diplopia and headache. Examination revealed bilateral sixth nerve palsy with left third nerve palsy. External ocular examination was normal. Computed tomography angiography was done and revealed bilateral intracavernous internal carotid artery aneurysms. She was referred to neurosurgery for further management.
