solated internal iliac artery aneurysms affected 0.1% of the population and account for approximately 1%
of aortoiliac aneurysms. They are bilateral in half the cases. Fusiform aneurysms are the most common
presentation and they are frequently associated with atherosclerotic disease. Internal iliac aneurysms are usually
asymptomatic, except when there is rupture, with a related high risk of mortality. They can be diagnosed by
ultrasound, computed tomography, angioresonance and angiotomography (the gold standard exam). Surgical
repair of iliac artery aneurysms is indicated for those that had significant expansion, diameter higher than 3
centimeters and for symptomatic cases. We report the case of a 69-year-old hypertensive patient with an incidental
finding in abdominal ultrasound exam of bilateral aneurysm in the internal iliac arteries, both with surgical
indication. Was performed endovascular treatment in two successive stages, first with preservation of the right
internal iliac artery followed by embolization of the left internal iliac artery.
