Abstrakt:	Hyperperfusion syndrome is a rare complication following revascularization for severe cerebrovascular occlusive disease. We report 2 cases with milder manifestations of this syndrome in the form of unilateral headache following balloon angioplasty of brachiocephalic arteries, and 1 case with massive cerebral hemorrhage after aorto-carotid bypass surgery. The mechanism of autoregulation of cerebral blood flow and the pathophysiology of recognizing this phenomenon and possible means of preventing its occurrence are emphasized.
