A seven-month old female with a huge aneurysm of the right common iliac artery and multiple stenoses of her bilateral renal arteries is described. At surgery, a Gore-Tex graft was interposed between the proximal common iliac artery and the external iliac artery.

This case would be the first case of a huge common iliac artery aneurysm due to FMD in infants.
