Abstract:
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of the craniocerebral magnetic resonance angiography(MRA) in adult moyamoya disease.Methods 20 adult patients with Moyamoya disease were examined by DSA,MRI and MRA.Results DSA showed that the ending of internal carotid artery system were stenosis or occlution,and the fog-like blood vessel networks at base of skull were observed in the 20 patients.By MRI,the cerebral ischemical changes were found in 11 cases,intracerebral hamrrahge was found in 9 cases.MRA showed that cerebral artery were stenosis or obstruction in all of the 20 patients,16 cases(80%) with the fog-like blood vessel net in the thalamus-basal ganglia region.The detectable rate of abnormal cerebral basal vascular network was no statistical difference between DSA and MRA.Conclusions MRA can provide more information of cerebral artery straitness or obstruction and fog-like blood vessel net in the adult patients with Moyamoya disease,and without hammerless.MRA has a very importent value of diagnosis in the adult moyamoya disease.
