SPECT, magnetic resonance and angiographic features in a moyamoya patient before and after external-to-internal carotid artery bypass.
Brain SPECT changes in a patient with cerebral vaso-occlusive disease caused by moyamoya disease are presented. Brain SPECT after a revascularization procedure demonstrated significant improvement of brain flow which was confirmed by angiography. Clinical and magnetic resonance features are reviewed.
