Results The stenosis or occlusion with different extents of the supracranial internal carotid arteries and the collateral circulations were shown in DSA of the all patients. MMD lesions of 57 cerebral hemispheres shown in the DSA of 31 patients were diagnosed by staging according to the description of Suzuki: Stage Ⅰ in 4 cerebral hemispheres; Ⅱ,10;Ⅲ17;Ⅳ12;Ⅴ6 and Ⅵ,8. Conclusions DSA could show clearly the stenotic degree, occlusive site and collateral circulation of the MMD and simultaneously with the staging of the disease; and thus guiding the choice for early surgical teatment.
