RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of multi-slice thrce-dimensional computed tomographic angiography(MS-CTA) with volume rendering(VR) for Moyamoya disease.Methods MS-CTA of 25 patients with Moyamoya disease verified by DSA were restrospectively analyzed.Source images were got by GE Lightspeed pro scanner.VR was adopted to reconstruct 3D images in all cases.Results Of 25 CT precontrast,13,12 cases showed infarction and hemorrhage respectively,while 11 cases had dialated vessels in thalamus-basal ganglia region on CT.Accuracy of stenosis or occlusion of the bifurcation of ICA, proximal portion of the ACA or MCA was 88.0% (22/25) by MS-CTA.MS-CTA overestimated the degree of stenosis,MS-CTA misdiagnosed 3 cases(12.0%)with stenosis to occlusion.MS-CTA showed fewer small Moyamoya vessels than DSA.MS-CTA only demonstrated 6 cases(25.0%)with collateral vessels.Conclusion CT is still the conventional method for detecting secondary lesions to Moyamoya disease.CT and MS-CTA can accurately diagnose Moyamoya disease.
