Abstract
- The author analyzed the r-CBF data of 19 patients who admitted to the Kyung Hee University Medical Center under the diagnosis of definite "Moyamoya" disease from 1983 to 1992. Seven of them were followed-up from 1 to 18 months. The results were as fllow : 1) In moyamoya disease patients, the mean hemispheric r-CBF has a tendency to be lower than that of healthy persons. 2) In moyamoya disease patients, the ipsilateral r-CBF also shows a tendency to be lower than that of contralateral side. 3) The 133Xe-inhalation method is one of useful methods to evaluate CBF in Moyamoya disease, especially for follow-up. 4) The results of follow-up study for Moyamoya disease by 133Xe-inhalation method corelate very well with the change in clinical status of the patients. 5) In Moyamoya disease patients, the follow-up by means of 133Xe-inhalation method is one of useful methods to select a good candidate for surgical treatment such as STA-MAC anastomosis.
