Symptomatic hyperperfusion after superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery anastomosis in a child with moyamoya disease.

Surgical revascularization for moyamoya disease prevents cerebral ischemic attacks by improving cerebral blood flow (CBF). It is undetermined, however, how rapid increase in CBF affects ischemic brain at acute stage, especially in children. ⋯ We demonstrated, for the first time, that delayed focal neurological deficit after STA-MCA anastomosis can be caused by focal hyperperfusion in childhood moyamoya disease.
