Down syndrome associated moyamoya may worsen epilepsy control and can benefit from surgical revascularization.


ABSTRACT: Objectives:To examine outcome of bilateral extracranial to intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgeries for a Down syndrome patient with hard-to-treat epilepsy and moyamoya. Materials and methods:Superficial temporal arteries were anastamosed using an indirect bypass technique to middle cerebral arteries bilaterally to help limit perfusion deficits and seizure controls. Results:Two superficial temporal to middle cerebral artery indirect bypass surgeries were performed within 3?months. Post-revascularization improvements included seizure control, gait, perfusion, wakefulness, language and quality of life. Conclusion:In patients with Down syndrome and moyamoya, improvements in seizure control and quality of life may occur with EC-IC bypass procedures.
