Popis: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is an isolated chronic, usually bilateral, vasculopathy disease of undetermined etiology. The clinical presentations of MMD include TIA, ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, seizures, headache, and cognitive impairment. Intra- and extra-cranial revascularization for the prevention of recurrence of bleeding in patients with hemorrhagic MMD is controversial. Surgical revascularization of MMD includes 3 types: Direct revascularization, indirect revascularization and combined revascularization. The surgical goal of cerebral revascularization is to prevent progression of symptomology, alleviate intracranial hemodynamic stress, and reduce the incidence of subsequent ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. However, surgical treatments pose various complications due to the sudden increase in cerebral blood flow or hemodynamic changes caused by perioperative risk factors and anesthesia, such as HS, cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction, bypass occlusion caused by distal vascular resistance, bypass occlusion caused by compression of the temporalis, and anastomotic aneurysm.
