Abstract

Objective: Assessment for result of the Extracranial-to-Intracranial bypass surgery for treatment of Moyamoya disease/ syndrome. Methods: A retrospective and prospective descriptive study on 23 patients with MMD and MMS treated 25 Extracranial-to-Intracranial bypass surgeries performed from January 2017 to June 2022 at the Neurosurgery Center, Viet Duc Hospital. Results: There are 23 patients with an average age of 29.4 years (range from 06 to 63 years) using Extracranial-to-Intracranial Bypass procedures (Direct, Indirect, and Combined). The patient's clinical symptoms and signs (headache, neurological deficits, and TIA) have improved. There were no deaths following surgery, but there was one case of skin flap necrosis and two cases of delayed wound healing, one case chronic subdural hematoma. Conclusion: In patients with MMD, EC-IC bypass surgery is low risk, effective therapy in preventing future ischemic events and strokes, improves the quality of life. Patients with symptomatic MMD should be offered EC-IC bypass surgery.
