The present study was undertaken to reach a clearer understanding of the natural history of @entity7025 . Follow-up studies were performed in 88 @entity1 with @entity7025 . They were divided into the @entity63 group and the @entity548 group. The activity of daily living (ADL) of each groups were followed up and compared between those who were surgically treated and conservatively managed. Ischemic manifestations were more common in the younger @entity1 and tended to be recurrent, whereas @entity548 manifestations were more common in the adults. Follow-up duration of the 36 @entity1 , who were surgically treated, ranged from 6 to 86.4 months (mean: 28.8 months). During the follow-up period, ADL was improved in 17 of 31 @entity63 Moyamoya @entity1 (55%); the condition was unchanged in nine (29%); and aggravated in five (16%). Follow-up duration of the 52 @entity1 who were managed without surgery ranged from 12 to 216 months (mean: 67.2 months). In 35 @entity1 of the @entity63 group, ADL was aggravated in 49% and improved in only 26% during the follow-up period. However, ADL was aggravated in 12% of 17 @entity548 @entity1 , but improved in 53%. Our result suggest that indirect revascularization procedures are effective for prevention of recurrent @entity63 attacks which is common in pediatric @entity1 . However, the effectiveness of indirect revascularization for @entity548 @entity7025 is not clear and requires extended follow-up study.
