The article describes the “bonnet” bypass, the type of extracranial-intracranial bypass. This technique is performed when ipsilateral arteries can’t be used as a donor when cerebral revascularization is required. The literature was analyzed and three main techniques of “bonnet” have been defined. The indications for performing “bonnet” bypass are determined, and the disadvantages are indicated. Alternative methods of revascularization are presented and technical details of graft protection are described. The “bonnet” bypass is a rare and laborious technique of cerebral revascularisation. However, it is an alternative and effective method of treatment to prevent serious ischemic disorders.

In this article we present the clinical case of 63 y.o. man with chronic occlusion of the right common, internal, and external carotid arteries, and critical stenosis of the left internal carotid artery, with complaints of muscle weakness and decreased sensitivity of the left limbs. The patient underwent a staged brain revascularization, the left carotid endarterectomy was performed at the first stage and followed by bonnet bypass, which consists in anastomosing the contralateral superficial temporal artery with the ipsilateral intracranial artery by autograft interposition. In the postoperative period, the patient's neurological symptoms regressed. This case demonstrates the possibility of using bonnet bypass as an alternative revascularization method in patients with cerebral blood circulation insufficiency.

A 30-year-old woman with giant fusiform aneurysm of the azygos anterior cerebral artery is reported. Clipping of the aneurysm followed by modeling of pericallosal artery was performed in 2017. However, further enlargement of the aneurysm has been observed for subsequent 2 years. The patient underwent redo surgery with excision of the aneurysm followed by «hemi-bonnet bypass» procedure (anastomosis between superficial temporal artery and anterior cerebral artery with radial artery as an interposition graft). Literature data on reconstructive surgery in the treatment of complex pericallosal artery aneurysms are reviewed.

Cerebral persistent primitive arteries are uncommon and associated with cerebrovascular diseases, like cerebral aneurysms. They can cause vertebrobasilar ischemia and neuropathy of the cranial nerves. The authors present a patient with trigeminal artery associated with giant partially thrombosed cavernous internal cerebral artery aneurysm.

Moyamoya angiopathy is a chronic progressive cerebrovascular disease characterized by stenosis and occlusion of the distal segments of the internal carotid arteries and/or proximal segments of the middle and anterior cerebral arteries, with a gradual compensatory restructuring of the cerebral circulation to the system of the external carotid arteries. Today, the main treatment method for Moyamoya angiopathy is surgical revascularization of the brain. A search and analysis of publications on the treatment of adult patients with Moyamoya angiopathy was carried out in the PubMed and Medscape databases over the past 10 years. We present a case of an adult female patient with a hemorrhagic form of Moyamoya angiopathy stage IV according to J. Suzuki, who underwent staged combined revascularization of both cerebral hemispheres. Surgical revascularization included the creation of a low-flow extra-intracranial shunt combined with a combination of indirect synangiosis. The combination of direct and indirect methods of surgical revascularization enables to achieve the development of an extensive network of collaterals and fully compensate for cerebral circulatory disorders both in the early and late postoperative periods, which is confirmed by instrumental diagnostic data. Combined revascularization is the most effective modern method of treating patients with Moyamoya angiopathy due to the complementary influence of direct and indirect components of revascularization.

Surgical treatment of epilepsy in Perm Region started in 2020 as a part of project “Organization of a system of surgical care for patients with Drug-Resistant Epilepsy in the Russian Federation”. This article presents the current practice for the period 2020–2022, which includes the selection algorithm for the surgical procedure, surgical methods, early and long-term complications ofsurgical treatment and diagnostics, and early outcomes. We suggest the project of the against epilepsy in Perm Region.
