[Ischemic complications following surgical treatment of moyamoya disease: risk factors and prevention].

Patients with moyamoya disease are at high risk of perioperative complications due to complex rearrangement of collateral cerebral circulation and high sensitivity of brain to local and systemic hemodynamic changes. Patients with risk factors require careful perioperative management to exclude pathogenetic factors provoking ischemia. Early surgical treatment is advisable to reduce the risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic lesions following natural course of disease and severe perioperative complications.
