ABSTRACT

The extra-intracranial bypass has been used in the treatment of patients with chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency. More recent studies have demonstrated the benefit of this technique to patients with arterial occlusion in the acute phase. We relate the case of a 19-year-old patient, victim of cervical trauma, who presented evidence of intra- and extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion and progressive intra hospital clinical worsening. He underwent a high-flow bypass surgery with NIHSS at 17, progressing with progressive intra hospital improvement and in the outpatient segment achieved a NIHSS of 2 in 6 months of follow-up. We discuss the role of high- and low-flow bypass in chronic occlusive arterial disease, based on a review of the literature. We conclude that in spite of there being a divergence as to the indication for, and benefits of, these techniques in chronic occlusive arterial disease, in the acute phase, there appears to be a more evident benefit mainly in the young patients, whose etiology is the dissection of the ICA...


A anastomose extraintracraniana tem sido utilizada no tratamento de pacientes com insu!ciência vascular cerebralcrônica. Estudos mais recentes têm demonstrado os benefícios dessa técnica para pacientes com doença arterialoclusiva em sua fase aguda. Relatamos o caso de um jovem de 19 anos, vítima de trauma cervical fechado,que apresentou oclusão da artéria carótida interna (ACI) extra e intracraniana, evoluindo com piora neurológica progressiva. Foi submetido a anastomose de alto "uxo em fase aguda, evoluindo com melhora neurológica,progredindo de um NIHSS de 17 para NIHSS de 2 no seguimento após seis meses. Discutimos, ainda, o papelda anastomose de alto e baixo "uxo na doença arterial oclusiva crônica, com base em revisão da literatura.Concluímos que, embora haja divergência na indicação e nos possíveis benefícios, as técnicas de anastomosespodem proporcionar maior benefício para pacientes jovens, cuja principal etiologia é a dissecção arterial....
