[Modern trends in diagnosis and surgical treatment of moyamoya disease].

This review is devoted to moyamoya disease. It is a rare chronic steno-occlusive cerebrovascular disease. However, moyamoya disease is increasingly diagnosed by neurosurgeons in our country. Unlike atherosclerotic lesions of cerebral arteries, pathogenesis and course of this disease are much more complex and variable. Therefore, specialists often have certain difficulties in diagnosis, management and treatment of these patients. To date, a large number of surgical interventions have been proposed for the treatment of moyamoya disease. Revascularization approaches include direct procedures (extra-intracranial microanastomoses), indirect methods (synangioses) and combined revascularization. The purpose of the review is to systematize current literature data on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, clinical patterns and surgical treatment of patients with moyamoya disease. results Outcomes of surgical revascularization and the role of its various components in combined approach are under particular attention.
