The extracranial-intracraniat arterial anastomosis was performed on 11 patients of Moyamoya disease. Eight excellent results and 2 unchanged results were obtained. One patient died of postoperative intracerebral hematoma. The child case showed in general an improvement of neurological dificits, but all adult cases had some complications. It is, however, our impression that this revascularization surgery may be effective to Moyamoya disease by increasing blood flow to the ischemic brain tissue, though it is necessary to take the right measure to prevent complications.
