[Abstract] Objective To investigate hemodynamic changes in adult patients with hemorrhagic moyamoya disease based on pseudo-continuous artery spin labeling (pCASL) imaging.Materials and Methods: A total of 32 patients (38 hemispheres) with hemorrhagic or ischemic moyamoya diasease in Xuanwu Hospital were enrolled from December 2016 to April 2019, including 21 hemorrhagic hemispheres and 17 ischemic hemispheres. All patients underwent pCASL exams within 3 months after the onset. Mean perfusion parameters of cerebral blood flow (CBF), pCASL-arterial cerebral blood volume (aCBV) and pCASL-arterial transit time (ATT) derived using pCASL were measured within peripheral region of the lesion, ipsilateral frontal lobe and temporal lobe on the semi-oval layer and positive lesion layer. Inter-group comparison between hemorrhage and infarction was carried out through t-test of two independent samples and Mann-Whitney U test of two independent samples.Results A total of 21 hemorrhagic hemispheres were involved. In the peripheral region of the lesion, mean aCBV, ATT and CBF values were (1.01±0.22) mL/100g, (1.53±0.98) s and (37.88±6.19) mL/ (100 g·min), respectively. In the frontal lobe, mean aCBV, ATT and CBF values were (1.23±0.31) mL/100g, (1.55±0.15) s and (47.03±13.78) mL/(100 g·min), respectively. In the temporal lobe, mean aCBV, ATT and CBF values were (1.28±0.30) mL/100g, (1.54±0.12) s and (51.91±13.96) mL/(100 g·min), respectively. For the 17 ischemic cerebral hemispheres, mean aCBV, ATT and CBF values were (1.11±0.24) mL/100g, (1.46±0.35) s and (49.27±14.13) mL/(100 g·min) in the lesion peripheral region, (1.17±0.30) mL/100g, (1.51±0.37) s and (43.17±14.63) mL/(100 g·min) in the frontal lobe, and (1.21±0.35) mL/100g, (1.50±0.40) s and (49.25±20.85) mL/(100 g·min) in the temporal lobe. Compared with ischemic hemispheres, the hemorrhagic hemispheres showed significantly lower CBF in the peripheral region of the lesion (P<0.05). However, there's no statistical difference between two groups in term of aCBV and ATT. No evident statistical difference was seen in statistics of perfusion parameters of the frontal lobe and temporal lobe.Conclusions Hemorrhagic moyamoya disease has the lower perfusion than ischemic moyamoya. pCASL can detect the grade of blood flow failure in adults with hemorrhagic moyamoya disease, monitor tiny ischemic changes in peripheral frontal and temporal lobes, which can provide a basis for further research on early detection of rebleeding by monitoring hemodynamics.
