Long-term effects of revascularization on brain volume and clinical outcomes in pediatric moyamoya disease
This study revealed a previously unrecognized pattern of gradual lateral ventricle volume changes in pediatric patients with MMD following revascularization surgery. These findings underscore the importance of long-term MRI monitoring to detect subtle but clinically relevant morphological changes. The results suggest that vigilant monitoring of these changes could help optimize clinical outcomes and improve quality of life in this vulnerable patient population.
