title: Complete homonymous hemianopsia: reversal with arterial bypass.
abstract: In the case presented, gradual reversal of a fixed neurologic deficit followed a superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery microvascular bypass procedure. This case illustrates well the zone of penumbra concept. Fixed neurologic deficits may be treated in some cases by bypass procedures.
