To present the clinical case of successful extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) high-flow bypass performance. Patient, female, 51 years old, was suffered from giant cavernous aneurysm of right internal carotid artery (ICA), presented with mass effect. The EC-IC high-flow bypass using radial artery was performed between M2 segment of right middle cerebral artery and right external carotid artery. Bypass patency was confirmed by intraoperative dopplerography, postoperative digital subtraction angiography and by ultrasound examination of anasthomosis. Patient was discharged in 3 weeks after operation in satisfactory condition. The EC-IC high-flow bypass is one of effective method for cavernous aneurysm treatment, allowing excluding aneurysm from cerebral blood flow and decreasing its mass effect.
