In moyamoya disease (MMD), the compensatory
collateralization from external cerebral artery or bypass artery is essential
to evaluate the severity of disease and perfusion efficacy of surgical
revascularization. And the leptomeningeal anastomoses were
regarded as significant contributors to the collateral blood supply. However, the
characteristic of the compensatory collateralization has not been clarified up
to now, such as the permeability of vessels, which could be the reason of rehemarrhage
and other complications after the surgical revascularization for MMD. We hypothesize
the high permeability of collateralization leads to rehemarrhage in MMD. In
this work, quantitative assessment of 3D-pCASL and DCE-MRI suggests no
significant increased permeability in the cortical areas with collateral neovascularization
in MMD.
