Abstract

Background and Purpose— Predicting the risk of stroke and determining intervention indications are highly important for patients with Moyamoya disease (MMD). Here, we evaluated a novel MMD grading system based on collateral circulation and Suzuki stage to evaluate symptoms and predict prognosis. Methods— In total, 301 idiopathic MMD patients were retrospectively analyzed between 2014 and 2016. A collateral circulation grading system with scores ranging from 1 to 12 was established: the anatomic extent of pial collateral blood flow from posterior cerebral artery to middle cerebral artery and anterior cerebral artery was scored from 1 to 6; perforator collateral and internal cerebral artery flow were scored as 6 to 1, which corresponded to Suzuki stages 1 to 6. Dynamic susceptibility contrast–magnetic resonance imaging was used to evaluate hemodynamic status. We assessed the association between the grading system and clinical characteristics. Results— We analyzed 364 symptomatic hemispheres of 301 patients (146 males, 28±16 years). Ischemic patients who presented with infarction were more likely to score <8 points ( P <0.001), whereas those with ischemia symptoms (transient ischemic attack and headache) were more likely to score >8 points. Hemorrhagic patients who presented with intraparenchymal hemorrhage were more likely to score <8 points, whereas those who presented with intraventricular hemorrhage were more likely to score >8 points ( P <0.001). According to dynamic susceptibility contrast–magnetic resonance imaging, lower scores were correlated with more severe time to peak delay ( P <0.001) and worse relative cerebral blood volume ratio ( P =0.016) and cerebral flow ratio ( P =0.002). Encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis was performed in 348 symptomatic hemispheres. Patients who had collateral scores <4 points were more likely to have a postoperative stroke and a worse prognosis during the follow-up. Conclusions— This new MMD collateral grading system correlated well with clinical symptoms, hemodynamic status, and therapeutic prognosis and may facilitate risk stratification and prognosis predictions in patients with MMD.
