Abstract

An adult patient with progressive chronic cerebral ischemia associated with moyamoya disease who underwent combined revascularization of both cerebral hemispheres in step-by-step fashion is reported in the article. The feature of this case is a large volume of revascularization procedures with double-barrel extra-intracranial anastomoses combined with indirect synangioses. This surgical approach ensured early postoperative development of extensive collateral network and complete compensation of impaired cerebral circulation. Particular attention is paid to description and discussion of preoperative diagnosis, the choice of surgical treatment, as well as the features of surgical technique. The advantages and disadvantages of this approach are discussed in comparison with literature data.
