Abstract: This is a case report of a child, at the age of 3 years old with symptoms of chorea, at the left side and worsening of the hyperactivity, and the expressive language. The magnetic resonance image (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) performed revealed lenticulostriate stroke and severe stenosis of the right middle cerebral artery (MCA), M1 portion. After two months, a remarkable worsening at the MCA, with reduction of flux at the distal branches and It was done the encephalo-duro-arterio-synangiosis (EDAS) procedure with a graft of the superficial temporal artery. After 8 months, a single photon emission tomography (SPECT) was done, with moderate perfusional asymmetry with reduced blood flow mostly in right middle cerebral artery (rMCA) territory. The SPECT done 16 months after, the first one, show ed a clear improvement of the blood flow to the rMCA territory, and minimal perfusional asymmetry between right and left hemispheres
