The authors report a rare case of sequentially developed bilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) fusiform giant aneurysms in a patient with pathologically confirmed intimal fibroplasia. Both ICA fusiform aneurysms were treated with multiple flow diverter insertion and were well-managed over the past 5.5 years of follow-up. The development of aneurysms in this rare disease entity appears to be a lifelong process based on the authors' observations in serial angiographic follow-up studies. Reconstruction therapy using flow-diverting stents in this unique condition may be a safe and effective treatment modality.
