Abstract/OtherAbstract:
There have been many indirect revascularization techniques described by surgeons for the treatment of moyamoya disease. These surgical procedures are typically used more commonly in pediatric, than in adults', cases. Some of the techniques include: cervical sympathectomy, omental transplantation, multiple burr holes, encephalo-myo-synangiosis (EMS), encephalo-arterio-synangiosis (EAS), encephalo-duro-synangiosis (EDS), encephalo-myo-arterio-synangiosis (EMAS), encephalo-duro-arterio-synangiosis (EDAS), encephalo-duro-arterio-myo-synangiosis (EDAMS), encephalo-duro-galeo (periosteal)-synangiosis (EDGS), and combinations of all the above. This chapter will detail the technical aspects of many of these procedures and some of the reported clinical outcomes.
