Summary
PNB is a continuing education service designed to expedite and facilitate review of current scientific information for physicians and other health professionals. Researchers at Seoul National University Children's Hospital, Korea, analyzed the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors for outcome of 410 pediatric cases of moyamoya disease (MMD) after bypass surgery. Infarction at presentation was associated with unfavorable clinical outcome, and decreased vascular reserve only on SPECT indicative of a favorable outcome (81% cases). Diagnosis and surgical intervention before irreversible hemodynamic change occurs are essential to obtain a favorable outcome.
