Title: [Treatment of pediatric ischemia moyamoya disease by direct bypass combined with multiple burr hole].
Abstract: To investigate the treatment outcome of superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass (STA-MCA) combined with multiple burr hole (MB) in pediatric ischemia moyamoya disease.A total of 31 pediatric patients with ischemic moyamoya disease who were admitted to Beijing Tiantan hospital from 2010 to 2013 were divided into two groups which were STA-MCA + MB surgery group (n = 16) and STA-MCA surgery only group (n = 15).In all patients, the number of patients with symptom improvement was 24 (77.4%), the number of patients with no symptom improvement was 5 (16.1%) and with symptom deterioration was 2 (6.5%). The postoperative modified rankin scale (mRS) in STA-MCA + MB group was significantly lower than that in STA-MCA group (P < 0.05).The treatment outcome of STA-MCA combined with MB is superior to STA-MCA bypass surgery only and doesn't increase the incidence of complication.
