Clinical and Angiographic Features and Stroke Types in Adult Moyamoya Disease [FELLOWS' JOURNAL CLUB]

CONCLUSIONS:
In adult Moyamoya disease, major artery occlusion and collateral compensation occurred more often in the hemorrhagic than in the ischemic hemispheres. Thus, anterior cerebral artery occlusion with or without MCA occlusion and intracranial aneurysms may be the main contributing factors to hemorrhagic stroke in adult patients with Moyamoya disease.
