Patients with Moyamoya Vasculopathy Evaluated at a Single-Center in The Netherlands; Clinical Presentation and Outcome.

ABSTRACT: Information on presentation and outcome of moyamoya vasculopathy (MMV) in European countries is limited. We investigated patient characteristics, treatment and outcome of patients with MMV. We retrieved patient characteristics and treatment information and determined functional outcome (modified Rankin Score (mRS); type of school/work) by structured telephone interviews. We performed uni- and multivariable logistic regression analysis to determine predictors of poor outcome. We included 64 patients with bilateral MMV. In children (31 patients), median age was 5 years (interquartile range (IQR) 2-11) and in adults (33 patients), it was 33 years (IQR 28-41). Predominant mode of presentation was ischemia (children 84%; adults 88%). Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at presentation was ≤2 in 74%. Re
