Abstract:
Moyamoya disease is a chronic progressive cerebrovascular disease which is characterized by progressive stenosis or occlusion at bilateral terminal portions of the internal carotid artery and its large branch vessels,and with an abnormal formation of new vascular network in skull base.As a noninvasive method,magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in the diagnosis and evaluation of moyamoya disease.This article reviews the application of MRI in the identification,diagnosis and treatment evaluation of the stroke subtypes in patients with moyamoya disease.
