Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. How can the scars of moyamoya disease be removed?Doctor's answer:
Moyamoya disease is primarily characterized by vascular developmental abnormalities in the base of the skull. Moyamoya disease can be treated through vascular bridging or vascular patch grafting surgeries. These surgeries require incisions, so scars will form. For these scars, it is important to change the dressing and sterilize it regularly in the early stages to prevent infection. Then, aloe vera gel, vitamin E, or scar cream can be applied to help reduce the scar. If the scar remains noticeable in the later stages, laser treatment can be used.
