Motor excitability in bilateral moyamoya vasculopathy and the impact of revascularization

CONCLUSIONS: The study results suggested that, in the case of a bilateral chronic ischemia, a compensation mechanism between both hemispheres seemed to exist that normalized after revascularization surgery. A potential role of nTMS in predicting the efficacy of revascularization must be further assessed.PMID:34469868 | DOI:10.3171/2021.6.FOCUS21280
