Background: Headache associated with Moyamoya disease (HAMD) in the Chinese population is not well-described. The long-term outcome of surgical revascularization and natural course of HAMD has not been disclosed either.Methods: A headache screening questionnaire in China based on the ICHD2 and a face-to-face interview performed by an experienced neurologist were used to investigate headache characteristics and frequency and pain intensity in the 3 months before admission, and a telephone interview was used for the follow-up of a large cohort of 119 Chinese patients with HAMD.Results: Headache intensity was rated as scores of 5.9 ± 2.0 on a visual analog scale (VAS), ranging from 0 to 10, in the 3 months before admission. Forty-six patients (38.6%) were categorized as having migraine-like headaches, 29 patients (24.3%) were categorized as having tension type-like headaches, and 44 patients (36.9%) had a combination of both. The majority of patients had migraine-like headaches (n = 34, 73.9%) with a migrainous aura. Both the frequency and intensity of the headache improved significantly in patients treated with surgical revascularization (n = 96, 80.7%) or the conservative treatment (n = 23, 19.3%) in a long-term follow-up.Conclusion: HAMD frequently presented with a migraine-like headache (75.5% in total). A tension type headache was present in 60.9% of patients. The symptom of dizziness is common in patients with HAMD (60.5%), and 19 of them (26.4%) met the diagnose of vestibular migraine. Both intensity and frequency of HAMD show a trend of spontaneous remission in a long-term follow-up, and there is no difference in long-term outcomes of HAMD between surgical revascularization and conservative treatment, which indicates that the effect of bypass intervention on HAMD may be a placebo effect.

OBJECT Moyamoya disease (MMD) is an idiopathic cerebrovascular occlusive disorder prevalent in East Asia. In the pathogenesis of MMD, the important role of genetic factors is being elucidated, and RNF213 has recently been identified as a susceptibility gene for MMD. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the RNF213 genotype in patients with MMD and to determine their genotype-phenotype associations. METHODS The study involved 165 Korean MMD patients from 155 unrelated families who were diagnosed with MMD at a single center from 1995 to 2013. Their demographic, radiological, and clinical findings were evaluated. Direct sequencing of the major RNF213 single nucleotide polymorphisms was performed. The association of the common RNF213 variant with MMD risk was evaluated using historical controls for comparison. Correlations between RNF213 genotype and phenotype were statistically analyzed. RESULTS The c.14429G>A (p.R4810K) variant was identified in 125 (75.8%) of 165 MMD patients. Most patients (112) were heterozygous, and 13 patients had 2 copies of the c.14429G>A variant. A novel heterozygous variant, c.12086A>G (p.Q4029R), was found in 1 additional patient. The minor allele frequency of the c.14429G>A variant was significantly higher in the MMD group (138 [41.8%] of 330 patients) than in the control group (8 [1.36%] of 588 subjects; p < 0.001). The c.14429G>A (p.R4810K) variant significantly increased the risk of MMD in Korean patients, with an OR of 52.11 (p < 0.001) compared with controls. Moreover, c.14429G>A (p.R4810K) genotypes occurred more frequently in patients with a family history of MMD. The homozygous variant was highly associated with early-onset MMD (age at onset < 5 years), cerebral infarction at diagnosis, and cognitive impairment in long-term outcome. CONCLUSIONS The findings indicate that the c.14429G>A (p.R4810K) allele of RNF213 is strongly associated with Korean patients with MMD. The homozygous c.14429G>A (p.R4810K) variant is particularly related to early-onset MMD, severe symptomatic manifestations at diagnosis, and poor prognosis. This genotypic variant may be a useful biomarker for early-onset MMD or unstable MMD with cerebral infarction, which requires early diagnosis and revascularization treatment.

Moyamoya disease, a known cause of pediatric stroke, is an unremitting cerebrovascular occlusive disorder of unknown etiology that can lead to devastating, permanent neurological disability if left untreated. It is characterized by progressive stenosis of the intracranial internal carotid arteries and their distal branches and the nearly simultaneous appearance of basal arterial collateral vessels that vascularize hypoperfused brain distal to the occluded vessels. Moyamoya disease may be idiopathic or may occur in association with other syndromes. Most children with moyamoya disease present with recurrent transient ischemic attacks or strokes. Although there is no definitive medical treatment, numerous direct and indirect revascularization procedures have been used to improve the compromised cerebral circulation, with outcomes varying according to procedure type. Such techniques improve the long-term outcome of patients with both idiopathic and syndrome-associated moyamoya disease. This review provides a comprehensive discussion of moyamoya disease in children, with an emphasis on the most effective surgical treatment options.

A long-term assessment was performed to determine the posttreatment clinical course of 113 patients with moyamoya disease. All patients sustained cerebral ischemic attacks and underwent superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery anastomosis with or without temporal muscle grafting. The follow-up duration was 3 to 24 years (mean 14.4 ± 5.8 [standard deviation]). Complete cessation of the ischemic episodes was obtained in 110 of 113 patients. One hundred patients were able to return to independent acitvities of daily living. Intellectual delays prevented 24 patients from engaging in an independent social life. Although intracranial bleeding is one of the common manifestations in moyamoya disease, hemorrhage was not detected in the 113 patients who underwent cerebral revascularization.
