Abstract

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of 256-row volume CT in Moyamoya disease. Methods Twenty-one cases with Moyamoya disease were all scanned by 256-row volume CT, the original and reconstructed data was also evaluated. Results It was stenosis at the apices of the single or intracranial internal carotid arteries (ICA), including the proximal anterior cerebral arteries and middle cerebral arteries in all cases. Abnormal vascular net-work near Wills'circular at skull base, 17 cases of all had extensive abnormal basicranial vascular network, 4 cases fewer. 14%(3/21)accompanied by aneurysm, a case was multi-aneurysm. Conclusion 256-row volume CT can clearly show stenosis or occlusion of ICA, abnormal vascular network, aneurysm and collateral vessel of Moyamoya disease, and provid importantly information for the diagnosis and therapy.
