Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of SPECT imaging in the evaluation of rCBF improvement after bypass surgery in patients with moyamoya disease (MMD).Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted in 13 patients with MMD (5 children aged 3-8 years and 8 adults aged 45-55 years).The SPECT cerebral perfusion imaging data before and after operation were analyzed.Age matched subjects who underwent cerebral perfusion imaging for accidental headache (10 children,10 adults) were taken as control group.Two-sample t test or paired t test was used to compare rCBF of different groups.The brain DSA and MRI results during follow-up were taken as the reference of perfusion improvement.Results Based on visual judgment of SPECT,11/13 in MMD group showed significant improvement in the blood perfusion reduction area after surgery.The coincidence rates of SPECT-DSA and SPECT-MRI was 8/11 and 9/11,respectively.The rCBF of the control group and MMD group before surgery was (51.19±1.63) ml · 100 g-1 · min-1 and (38.83±2.22) ml · 100 g-1 · min-1 respectively (t=-18.465,P＜0.05).The rCBF of MMD group before and after surgery was significantly different ((38.83±2.22) ml · 100 g-1 · min-1 vs (45.03±2.63) ml · 100 g-1 · min-1,t=-11.707,P＜0.05).The rCBF of MMD group after surgery and the control group was significantly different (t =-8.313,P＜0.05).There was no significant difference of rCBF between the children and adults in the control group ((51.81±1.82) ml · 100 g-1 · min-1 vs (50.55±1.18) ml · 100 g-1 · min-1 ;t=0.081,P＞0.05).Conclusions Brain perfusion SPECT may effectively reflect the regional distribution and changes of blood flow in the ischemic tissue before and after MMD surgery.Thus it may be helpful in evaluation of the effect of surgical treatment.
