 We report a case of bilateral internal carotid artery(ICA)dissection associated with bilateral elongated styloid processes(ESPs). A 46-year-old man presented with transient aphasia and left visual disturbance at a business meeting. He complained of a foreign body sensation in his throat during swallowing for two years. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)demonstrated fresh small infarcts in the left corona radiata. Magnetic resonance angiography(MRA)revealed string signs bilaterally in the cervical ICAs. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral idiopathic ICA dissection and was treated with ozagrel and clopidogrel. Three-dimensional computed tomographic angiogram(3DCTA)indicated bilateral ESPs and bilateral ICA stenosis. 3DCTA with the patient's head tilting and neck extension revealed that each ICA was compressed by the ipsilateral ESP. A follow-up MRA showed complete normalization of bilateral ICAs after neck rest and anti-platelet therapy, following which, clopidogrel was stopped. The patient wore a soft cervical collar until the operation, to avoid contact between the ESPs and ICAs due to changes in head position. Bilateral ESP resection was performed to prevent recurrence of cerebral ischemic events caused by ICA dissection. The patient was discharged one week after the surgery without any neurological deficit. There was no recurrence of symptoms during the next eight months after the operation.
