Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effects of modified encephalo-duro-arterio-synangiosis (EDAS) on Moyamoya diseases (MMD) by single photon emission tomography (SPECT).Methods Thirty-six patients with MMD (29 with ischemic MMD and 7 with hemorrhagic MMD),admitted to our hospital from January 2011 to December 2013 and treated by modified EDAS,were chosen in our study;all the patients were followed up by SPECT,and the images changes before and after modified EDAS were compared.Results In the 36 MMD patients,41 hemisheres were treated by modified EDAS; the total improvement rate was 56.1％ (23/41),enjoying increased cerebral blood flow after EDAS; in ischemic MMD patients,the total improvement rate was 58.8％ (20/34),while those was 42.9％ (3/7) in hemorrhagic MMD patients.Conclusion The cerebral blood flow is improved obviously when MMD is treated by modified EDAS,especial on ischemic MMD patients.
