Abstract
Sixteen patients with Moyamoya were studied by computed tomography (CT). In one patient,
CT was normal. Cardinal findings in the noncontrast CT in the remaining 15 patients
weis cortical atrophy, varying degrees of ventricular dilatation and intracerebral
lucent areas. After contrast enhancement, no significant increase in the attenuation
values was observed in the intracerebral lucent areas. In seven patients, a slight
increase in density was noted in the basal ganglia; however, the increase in density
was unexpectedly slight when the dense vascular networks opacified by angiographics
were considered.
