Abstract
Moyamoya disease is a disease characterized by chronic occlusion of the circle of Willis with subsequent development of fine vascular networks in the ganglionic region and is common in Japanese people. The term “moyamoya” means puff of smoke in Japanese and represents the characteristic angiographic findings of these fine vascular networks. Although reconstructive surgery for moyamoya disease is widely accepted now [1, 2, 5–8], there is still no definite consensus as to surgical indication for patients with hemorrhagic attack [6] and as to selection of operative method for each patient [5–8].
