Abstract

Conclusions: This case is outstanding from several aspects: First, This is a rare occurrence of bilateral AC that became symptomatic in 6[sup]th[/sup] decade of life; second, this case is idiopathic (bilateral AC is usually secondary to hereditary metabolic diseases) ; Third, this case is a non familial
example of the disease.
