We herein describe a patient with symptomatic common carotid artery occlusion who underwent a reverse superficial temporal artery (STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) single bypass using a naturally formed "bonnet" STA. The surgical procedure was performed without difficulty, and no further neurological deterioration was observed after surgery. In practice, this case highlights that the reverse STA-MCA bypass can be achieved safely and less invasively using a naturally formed "bonnet" STA.
