Posterior cerebral artery involvement in paediatric moyamoya: angiographic patterns and stroke burden
Involvement of the PCA in moyamoya children is highlighted. This may be proximal, distal, or along the entire course of the PCA and is strongly associated with overall stroke. The odds of PCA territory strokes is higher with distal PCA involvement, while involvement of the Pcomm plays a more important role in anterior stroke. Younger children are at higher risk of PCA stroke. .
