Background: Intracranial arterial stenosis is a common cause of ischemic stroke. Recent attempts with intracranial stenting and superficial temporal-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass failed to show benefit. Perhaps, better strategies are needed for selecting suitable patients. Acetazolamide-challenged single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) can demonstrate reversed Robin Hood syndrome (RRHS) due to intracranial steal phenomenon and identify high-risk patients.Methods: We describe the clinical and SPECT findings of RRHS.Results: In our patient with severe and symptomatic severe stenosis of the right MCA, STA-MCA bypass resulted in complete resolution of RRHS.Conclusion: STA-MCA bypass surgery should be considered a possible option in patients with severe stenosis of intracranial internal carotid artery or MCA in carefully selected patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002343 Carotid Artery, Internal Branch of the common carotid artery which supplies the anterior part of the brain, the eye and its appendages, the forehead and nose. Arteries, Internal Carotid,Artery, Internal Carotid,Carotid Arteries, Internal,Internal Carotid Arteries,Internal Carotid Artery
D002548 Cerebral Revascularization Microsurgical revascularization to improve intracranial circulation. It usually involves joining the extracranial circulation to the intracranial circulation but may include extracranial revascularization (e.g., subclavian-vertebral artery bypass, subclavian-external carotid artery bypass). It is performed by joining two arteries (direct anastomosis or use of graft) or by free autologous transplantation of highly vascularized tissue to the surface of the brain.

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D013699 Temporal Arteries Arteries arising from the external carotid or the maxillary artery and distributing to the temporal region. Arteries, Temporal,Artery, Temporal,Temporal Artery
D016893 Carotid Stenosis Narrowing or stricture of any part of the CAROTID ARTERIES, most often due to atherosclerotic plaque formation. Ulcerations may form in atherosclerotic plaques and induce THROMBUS formation. Platelet or cholesterol emboli may arise from stenotic carotid lesions and induce a TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK; CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT; or temporary blindness (AMAUROSIS FUGAX).

D020768 Middle Cerebral Artery The largest of the cerebral arteries. It trifurcates into temporal, frontal, and parietal branches supplying blood to most of the parenchyma of these lobes in the CEREBRAL CORTEX. These are the areas involved in motor, sensory, and speech activities. Cerebral Artery, Middle,Arteries, Middle Cerebral,Artery, Middle Cerebral,Cerebral Arteries, Middle,Middle Cerebral Arteries
