Patient's question:
Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. How many types of treatment are there for moyamoya disease?Doctor's answer:
Smoking disease can only be treated surgically. Smoking disease is a rare developmental anomaly of cranial base blood vessels, primarily characterized by stenosis and poor communication of the internal carotid artery siphon and the initial segments of the anterior or middle cerebral arteries. This makes it prone to recurrent cerebral ischemia, leading to stroke or cerebral hemorrhage. Conservative drug treatment is ineffective for this condition, and surgery is required to resolve it. Vascular bypass surgery or vascular grafting surgery can be performed, such as anastomosing the anterior temporal artery with the middle cerebral artery or grafting it onto the surface of the brain. Over time, collateral circulation can gradually be established, stabilizing cerebral blood supply.
