| Popis: | Introduction: Moyamoya is a progressive cerebral arteriopathy affecting the arteries in the circle of Willis. Suzuki grade for moyamoya using catheter angiogram has been gold standard for the evaluation of moyamoya both in children and adults. Suzuki grade evaluates the amount of stenosis and collateral formation in the cerebral arteries. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) non-luminal imaging can overestimate stenosis and underestimate collaterals. With greater use of MRA for diagnosis and follow-up, it is important to understand MRA staging is truly comparable to catheter angiogram. Methods: Study neurologist and interventional radiologist reviewed both catheter angiograms and MRAs without clinical information. The modified Suzuki stage was used to evaluate the MRA. Median time from MRA to catheter angiogram was calculated. Cohen’s Kappa was used to compare modalities of Suzuki grade based on catheter angiogram to modified Suzuki grade by MRA on the same patients. Results: A total of 29 patients with moyamoya were reviewed. Median time between MRA and catheter angiogram was 2.4 months with interquartile range from 0.6-5.3 months. Unweighted Cohen’s Kappa was 0.34 (p Conclusion: Using Cohen’s kappa to compare two methods of evaluating cerebral artery stenosis in children with moyamoya, we demonstrated that there is only moderate correlation between catheter angiogram Suzuki staging compared to modified Suzuki staging with MRA. In conclusion, we suggest caution in the reliance of MRA for diagnosis and follow-up of children with moyamoya. We recommend consideration catheter angiograms at time of diagnosis and with surgical planning. |
