Abstract:
Cerebral rete mirabile is a unusual form of chronic cerebrovascular occlusive disease characterized usually by bilateral stenosis of distal internal carotid arteries and their vicinity, by a hazy network of collateral circulation at the base of brain called moyamoya vessels and clinically by recurring hemispheric ischemic attack in children. We have reported here 2 cases of cerebral rete mirabile in children and performed newly developed operative procedure which we think is an ideal surgical method for treatment of this disease in children and is compared with other surgical treatment.
