While this argues against \u201clow flow\u201d in the bypass construct, flow rates in the graft have not been previously quantified in the setting of CHS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CLINICAL PRESENTATION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 58-yr-old man presented with recurrent left hemispheric ischemic strokes and fluctuating right hemiparesis and aphasia. Vascular imaging revealed left cervical internal carotid artery occlusion and perfusion imaging confirmed left hemispheric hypoperfusion. After failing to respond to maximal medical therapy, the patient underwent single-barrel STA-MCA bypass. Postoperatively, his symptoms resolved and blood pressure (BP) was strictly controlled within normal range. However, 2 d later, he developed severe expressive aphasia. CTA demonstrated a patent bypass graft and SPECT showed focal hyperperfusion in Broca's speech area. Seizure activity was ruled out. A high graft flow rate of 52 mL\/min was documented by quantitative magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Thus, the diagnosis of CHS was made and managed with strict BP control. The patient exhibited complete recovery of speech over a period of days and was discharged home. Repeat SPECT at 4 mo showed resolution of hyperperfusion and quantitative MRA demonstrated reduction of graft flow rate to 34 mL\/min.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is the first case of perfusion imaging-proven CHS after STA-MCA bypass, where high graft flow rates are objectively documented.
