Creation of an extra-intracranial microanastomosis in a patient with squamous cell lung cancer and symptomatic internal carotid artery occlusion

The article presents an example of successful surgical treatment of a 73-year-old patient with symptomatic occlusion of the internal carotid artery, which resulted in transient cerebral hemodynamic disturbance and was accompanied by a speech disorder in the form of dysarthria. An extra-intracranial microanastomosis for revascularization of the left cerebral hemisphere was performed. The peculiarity of this case is the combination of the progressive course of squamous cell lung cancer and occlusion of the left internal carotid artery. To date, such a combination of pathologies has not been described in the medical literature, which makes this case particularly significant for clinical practice.
