Abstract
Vasculopathy is well-described in Alagille syndrome (ALGS); however, few data exist regarding neurosurgical interventions. We report 5 children with ALGS with moyamoya who underwent revascularization surgery. Postsurgical complications included 1 stroke and 1 death from thalamic hemorrhage. Global function improved in survivors. Revascularization is reasonably safe in patients with ALGS and may improve neurologic outcomes.
