Abstract
Spatial relationship was demonstrated between the moyamoya vessels and perivascular hemosiderin deposition particularly around the subependymal-leptomeningeal anastomosis, suggesting the mechanism for the development of cMBs in MMD. Present study further supports previous findings that cMBs potentially serve as a marker for the bleeding-prone microangiopathy in MMD. The significance of the present study lies in selecting optimal surgical candidate for preventing future hemorrhage by the presence of the cMBs, whereas current surgical indication relying on the degree of ischemia frequently fails to detect patients with future hemorrhage.
