Angiographic features and progression risk factors in children with asymptomatic moyamoya disease.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to explore the potential contribution of angiographic characteristics in the increased stroke risk among pediatric patients. This study retrospectively enrolled pediatric patients with ischemic, hemorrhagic, and asymptomatic moyamoya disease. Their hemispheres were categorized into five groups for the analysis of angiographic characteristics, which included Suzuki's stage, moyamoya vessels, lenticulostriate artery, thalamotuberal artery, thalamoperforating artery, anterior choroidal arteries, posterior choroidal arteries, and posterior cerebral artery involvement. Two hundred and nineteen pediatric patients with four hundred and thirty-eight hemispheres were enrolled. There was no significant difference in collateral dilatation between asymptomatic and hemorrhagic hemispher
