[Abstract] Objective: To analyze the MRI features of adult moyamoya patients in different stage and possible pathogenesis.Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the topography of ischemic lesions in 174 cerebral hemispheres of 94 adult patients with moyamoya disease, CVA score were calculated and its correlation with DSA findings were compared.Results: Using the results of DSA as reference, there were 6, 26, 23, 50, 49, 20 cerebral hemispheres in stages I to VI respectively among all 174 cerebral hemispheres. Ischemic lesions were detected in 156 hemispheres: 114 hemispheres only effect sub-cortical structure and 42 hemispheres has cortical areas been involved. There are 145 hemispheres that have lesions located in anterior circulation and 11 hemispheres has lesions in posterior circulation areas. The number of hemispheres whose CVA score is 0-3 are 18, 74, 40, 42 respectively. Along with the increase of stages diagnosed by DSA, the lesions growth from sub-cortical area to cortical area(r=0.32859, P<0.0001), while the CVA score increased as well(r=0.30375, P<0.0001).Conclusion: The location and size of ischemic lesions in patients with moyamoya disease changes along with the progress of DSA grade, which would be helpful to early diagnosis and condition evaluation.
