Article Abstract

Background: Disease-specific interventions for management and health behavior implementation are needed to improve the health and quality of life of adolescents with moyamoya disease.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a program for adolescents with moyamoya disease based on the salutogenesis theory, which focuses on the process of enhancing health through successful adaptation to external stressors, and to evaluate its effectiveness.

Methods: A randomized controlled trial was performed according to the CONSORT guidelines. This preliminary research and experimental treatment were conducted at a Severance Hospital ward and outpatient clinic among 48 participants randomized into the intervention (seven sessions of salutogenesis program, n = 24) or the control group (one session of one-to-one moyamoya disease education program, n = 24) from September 6, 2018 to January 4, 2019. Changes in the following study outcomes were reported: "knowledge of moyamoya disease," "social support," "sense of coherence," "moyamoya disease health behavior," "stress," "depression," "subjective health status," "frequency of ischemic symptoms," and "quality of life".

Results: The salutogenesis program improved the knowledge and social support of adolescents with illness-related problems and helped them attain healthy behaviors and stress reduction. It was confirmed to be effective in improving their quality of life.

Conclusions: The salutogenesis program for adolescents with moyamoya disease effectively improved the generalized resistance resources and sense of coherence in adolescents with moyamoya disease.

Trial Registration: Korean Clinical Research Information Service registry, KCT0006869.

Postoperative neurological deterioration due to brain compression by the swollen temporal muscle pedicle used in encephalo-myo-synangiosis (EMS) is a potential complication of combined revascularization for Moyamoya disease (MMD). However, the factors contributing to this phenomenon remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify factors associated with postoperative temporal muscle swelling following combined revascularization.

Evaluating altered mental status and suspected meningeal disorders in children often begins with imaging, typically before a lumbar puncture. The challenge is that meningeal enhancement is a common finding across a range of pathologies, making diagnosis complex. This review proposes a categorization of meningeal diseases based on their predominant imaging characteristics.

Background: Moyamoya disease (MMD) and moyamoya syndrome (MMS) are rare cerebrovascular conditions with unclear distinctions in clinical presentation and prognosis.

Aim: This study assessed potential differences between MMD and MMS patients using real-world data on clinical manifestations, surgical outcomes, and stroke risk factors.

Methods: This multicenter, retrospective cohort study examined patients with MMD or MMS treated at three tertiary academic hospitals in China, with a mean follow-up of 11.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study examines the link between Moyamoya disease (MMD) and open-angle glaucoma (OAG) using data from 36,432 MMD patients and 346,769 matched controls in South Korea from 2002 to 2022.
  • - Researchers used statistical models to find that patients with MMD had a significantly higher risk of developing OAG compared to those without MMD, with a hazard ratio of 1.26.
  • - The cumulative incidence of OAG was 3.7% in the MMD group versus 2.9% in the control group, indicating that MMD patients consistently faced a greater risk of developing OAG throughout the study.

Objective: During the cerebral digital subtraction angiography (DSA) follow-up after direct bypass surgery in patients with Moyamoya disease (MMD), we observed different depths of retrograde bypass flow along the original middle cerebral artery (MCA) pathway into the intracranial cavity through the anastomosed recipient vessels. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between these varying depths of retrograde bypass flow and the outcomes of revascularization.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study that included 109 patients (138 hemispheres) diagnosed with MMD and who underwent direct bypass surgery with subsequent DSA follow-up from 2022 to 2023.
