Typical case 1. This a 40-year-old female patient, who was treated for half a year because of headache and weakness of the right limb. After admission, the patient was diagnosed as moyamoya disease by DSA examination, Suzuki stage III. TCD examination showed that the PSV, EDV and MFV of the left MCA were 198.9 cm/s, 112.1 cm/s and 141.0 cm/s. The PI was 0.615. Then the patient underwent left STA-MCA vascular anastomosis combined with EDMS. During the operation, the anastomotic stoma was full and good, and ICG fluorescein angiography showed that the bridging vessel was unobstructed. No new cerebral infarction was found in MRI after operation. The patient recovered well after operation and was discharged without complications related to neurological function
