Abstract:
In patients with moyamoya disease (MMD),the process of progressive stenosis and occlusion of the intracranial principal artery is also a process of establishing collateral circulation.The clinical features and prognosis of MMD largely depend on the establishment and compensation of cerebral collateral circulation.With the development of medical imaging technique,the evaluation of structures and functions of collateral circulation has become increasingly accurate and varied.An appropriate grading and evaluation may help to assess the clinical outcomes after a stroke,and in direct individualization of treatment regimens.This article reviews cerebral collateral circulation in MMD,focusing on the conception,anatomy and clinical importance.
