Imaging of Moyamoya Disease and Moyamoya Syndrome: Current Status.
Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography 2018 December 27
Moyamoya disease (MMD) and Moyamoya syndrome (MMS) are referring to a progressive steno-occlusive vasculopathy at terminal portions of the bilateral internal carotid arteries and their proximal branches with prominent collateral artery formation. They can be found throughout the world and cause irreversible damage to the cerebral hemodynamics due to the progressive nature. Prompt diagnosis and accurate assessment could significantly improve the prognosis of MMD and MMS. Some imaging modalities could be used for diagnosis and nonquantitative evaluation of MMD and MMS, such as conventional computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), digital subtraction angiography, CT angiography (CTA), and magnetic resonance angiography. Some could quantitatively evaluate the cerebral hemodynamics of MMD and MMS, such as single-photon emission CT, positron emission tomography, xenon-enhanced CT, perfusion CT, dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI, arterial spin labeling MRI, and the hemodynamic parameters measured by those imaging methods could guide treatment of MMD and MMS. All the imaging modalities have their merits and demerits, and they can play a part in certain situation. We need establish standardized protocols for preoperative and postoperative evaluation with different imaging techniques in the further science for MMD and MMS.
