Our objective was a retrospective assessment of the management modalities that provided most beneficial treatment in hemorrhagic moyamoya disease during last 13 years at our institution. The clinical results 44 patients with were investigated, comparing revascularization surgery (direct, indirect, and combined bypass) or conservative treatment. Angiographic features, rebleeding, outcome investigated. Six 35 (17.1%) experienced as did 4 9 (44.4%) However, who underwent bypass had lower chance rebleeding. No significant difference rebleeding observed between non groups (p > 0.05). Cerebral angiography performed after showed for achieving good postoperative revascularization, direct methods much more effective < While risk group generally than group, there no statistically Although statistical significance not attained, may reduce hemorrhage effectively indirect bypass.
