Computerized tomography in Moyamoya syndrome

J Handa, Y Nakano, T Okuno

    Surgical Neurology
    |May 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Computerized tomography (CT) revealed significant brain abnormalities in most Moyamoya syndrome patients. Findings included cortical atrophy, ventricular dilation, and lucent foci, with limited enhancement after contrast.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Moyamoya syndrome is a rare cerebrovascular disorder.
    • Characterized by progressive stenosis of intracranial arteries, particularly at the circle of Willis.
    • Imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of computerized tomography (CT) in diagnosing Moyamoya syndrome.
    • To describe the characteristic CT findings in patients with Moyamoya syndrome.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of CT scans from twelve patients diagnosed with Moyamoya syndrome.
    • Precontrast and postcontrast CT scans were reviewed.
    • Findings were correlated with clinical presentation.

    Main Results:

    • CT scans from eleven out of twelve patients showed abnormalities.
    • Common findings included cortical atrophy, ventricular dilatation, and lucent foci in the brain.
    • Contrast enhancement was minimal in the lucent foci, suggesting non-vascular origin or chronic changes.

    Conclusions:

    • CT is a valuable tool for identifying characteristic brain changes in Moyamoya syndrome.
    • The described CT findings can aid in the diagnosis of Moyamoya syndrome, especially in conjunction with other clinical and imaging data.
