Summary: We report the case of a 72-year-old man with bilateral intrathoracic carotid bifurcations associated with a Klippel-Feil anomaly. The left and right carotid bifurcations were located at levels corresponding to the second and fourth thoracic vertebrae, respectively. A possible association between low carotid bifurcation and the Klippel-Feil anomaly is suggested.
