Abstract

Moyamoya disease is the chronic cerebrovascular disease, which is characterized by progressive occlusion of the intracranial part of internal carotid arteries and their proximal branches. Revascularization surgery of the ischemic hemisphere is a frequently recommended kind of treatment Moyamoya disease patients and it allows to prevent against stroke and to improve blood perfusion of the brain. We present the one case with treatment of this disease using superficial temporal artery (STA) - middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass.
