Abstract
Aortic dissection is often reported in association with carotid or other vessel dissection. We report a case of 75-year old patient who underwent surgical treatment for aortic dissection in 2001. A routine carotid doppler shows bilateral carotid dissection even though the repaired aortic arch is normal.

Introduction
Aortic dissection is often reported in association with carotid or other vessel dissection. We report a case of 75years old patient undergo to surgical treatment in 2001 for aortic dissection, that during a occasional with a carotid doppler shows bilateral carotid dissection even if the correct aortic arch is normal.1,2
We performed a CT HR examination that confirmed the diagnosis. In panel A, the carotid doppler is shown. In panels B, C and D, the CT reconstructions are shown. The added video shows the intracavitary view of common right carotid with the membrane dissection view.
