Abstract
- A retrospective study was made in 21 patients who angiographically diagnosed as moyamoya or moyamoya-like disease over the last 10 years. Computed tomography of the patients showed semorrhage, infarction or normal. Carotid angiography revealed various stages unilaterally or bilaterally. Seventy-five percent of the venous phase on the side of arterial occlusion demonstranted some abnormalities. Two children with unilateral abnormality showed arterial occlusion at supraclinoid portion of internal carotid arteries. On the other hand 5 adults with unilateral abnormality showed occlusion at variable sites of internal carotid artery.
