Limb-shaking syndrome derived from the contralateral hemisphere following unilateral revascularisation for moyamoya disease

CONCLUSION: Revascularization for moyamoya disease can lead to watershed shifts, which can induce limb-shaking syndrome derived from abnormalities in the contralateral hemisphere of the revascularized side. For patients with new-onset limb-shaking syndrome after moyamoya revascularisation procedures, additional revascularization may be warranted for treatment of low perfusion areas.PMID:34877065 | PMC:PMC8645482 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_937_2021
