Long-term follow-up of moyamoya disease in a patient with a duplicated middle cerebral artery: illustrative case
The progression of MMD may be attributed to shear stress that might have weakened the ICA distal to the duplicated MCA. Blood flow to the duplicated MCA was maintained, and the proximal ICA did not develop stenosis due to the preservation of shear stress. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE2598.
