Choroidal anastomosis is independently associated with hemorrhagic events in adult patients with MMD at advanced stages. HRMRI can provide detailed information on both the anatomies and abnormal collaterals in MMD, facilitating risk estimates of bleeding.
Objectives This study aimed to investigate the association between dilation and proliferation and anastomosis of perforating arteries, and intracranial hemorrhage in moyamoya disease (MMD) patients, using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI). Methods Adult patients with MMD at advanced stages were prospectively enrolled and underwent HRMRI exams. Dilation and proliferation of the lenticulostriate artery (LSA), medullary artery, and anterior or posterior choroidal arteries (AChA or PChA) were assessed. Abnormal anastomoses were identified between (1) the LSA and the medullary or insular arteries; (2) the thalamo-geniculate, thalamo-tuberal, or thalamo-perforating arteries and the medullary or insular arteries; and (3) the AChA or PChA and the medullary or insular arteries. The association between these variables and hemorrhagic events was calculated using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results Fifty patients (14 men; mean age, 35.4 +/- 9.7 years) were finally analyzed, including 17 hemorrhagic patients and 33 non-hemorrhagic patients. The inter-rater agreement for the qualitative evaluation of perforating arteries was good. Dilation and proliferation of the AChA or PChA (88.2% versus 54.5%, p = 0.027), and choroidal anastomosis (64.7% versus 18.2%, p = 0.002) were more frequently observed in patients with hemorrhage. Multivariate logistic regression showed that choroidal anastomosis remained significantly associated with hemorrhage (odds ratio = 5.95, 95% confidence interval = 1.21-29.25, p = 0.028). Conclusions Choroidal anastomosis is independently associated with hemorrhagic events in adult patients with MMD at advanced stages. HRMRI can provide detailed information on both the anatomies and abnormal collaterals in MMD, which facilitates risk estimates of bleeding in MMD.
