Difference in Cerebral Circulation Time between Subtypes of Moyamoya Disease and Moyamoya Syndrome.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we evaluated the differences in hemodynamics between hemorrhagic and non-hemorrhagic moyamoya disease (MMD) and moyamoya syndrome (MMS) by measuring cerebral circulation time (CCT). This case-control study included 136 patients with MMD or MMS diagnosed between April 2015 and July 2016 at Beijing Tian Tan Hospital. Each hemisphere was analyzed separately. The difference in clinical, radiological characteristics and CCT between subtypes of MMD and MMS were analyzed statistically. The results showed that total CCT between hemorrhagic and non-hemorrhagic sides was not statistically different (16.55 s vs. 16.06 s, P = 0.562). The cerebral filling circulation time (CFCT) of hemorrhagic sides was significantly shorter than that of non-hemorrhagic sides (4.52 s vs. 5.41 s, P < 0.00
