The cerebellar glucose metabolism in moyamoya vasculopathy and its correlation with neurocognitive performance after cerebral revascularization surgery: a [¹⁸F]FDG PET study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is quite common in moyamoya vasculopathy (MMV). However, the abnormality of cerebellar glucose metabolism in MMV and its relationship with patients' neurocognitive performance were few reported.

Objective

In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between neurocognitive performance and cerebellar glucose metabolism. Furthermore, the cerebellar glucose metabolism changes after combined revascularization surgery were also researched.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the 2-[¹⁸F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography ([¹⁸F]FDG PET) images and their neuropsychological scales in 93 eligible MMV patients by comparing their cerebellar standardized uptake values ratio (SUVR)
