EVALUATION OF CEREBRAL REVASCULARIZATION OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS WITH MOYAMOYA DISEASE

Moyamoya disease is a rare chronic cerebrovascular disorder characterized by progressive stenosis or occlu­sion of the terminal portions of the internal carotid arteries and their major branches, accompanied by the develop­ment of an abnormal collateral vascular network. Despite the widespread use of surgical treatment strategies, includ­ing direct and indirect cerebral revascularization, the factors influencing long-term functional and angiographic out­comes remain insufficiently understood.

The present study analyzed the functional and angiographic outcomes of surgical cerebral revascularization in children with Moyamoya disease who underwent treatment at our center.
