Abstract

 A 54-year-old patient with a history of stroke, underwent an angiography showing fine caliber right carotid artery with occlusion of the ophthalmic artery and occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery. The perfusion MRI shows a reduction in flow and volume with an increase in mean transit time in the right temporal and left frontal areas. After indirect revascularization surgery, the patient evolves favorably.
