Although postoperative neurological events due to brain compression by the swollen temporal muscle are a rare complication, the chronological volume changes of the temporal muscle pedicle and their clinical impact have not yet been documented. This prospective observational study aimed to investigate the chronological volume changes in the temporal muscle pedicle in Moyamoya disease (MMD). Eighteen consecutive combined revascularization procedures using the temporal muscle were performed for symptomatic MMD in 2021. The postoperative pedicle volume was quantified using repeated computed tomography images on postoperative days (PODs) 0, 1, 7, 14, and 30. Postoperative neurological events with radiological evaluations and collateral development evaluated using magnetic resonance angiography obtained 6 months after surgery were studied. On average, the postoperative temporal muscle pedicle volume was most significantly increased by as much as 112% ± 9.6% on POD 7 (P < 0.001) and decreased by as little as 52% ± 21% on POD 30 (P < 0.0001) relative to POD 0. One exceptional patient (overall incidence, 5.6%) demonstrated postoperative transient neurological events due to brain compression by the swollen temporal muscle with decreased focal cerebral blood flow in the adjacent cortical area. The postoperative collateral development via direct and indirect revascularizations was confirmed in 16 (89%) and 12 (67%) hemispheres, respectively. All patients, except for one rebleeding case, showed independent outcomes at the mean latest follow-up period on 290 ± 96 days after surgery. Our observations confirmed the temporal profile of muscle pedicle volume changes after combined revascularization. Through routine attempts to avoid the unfavorable effects of temporal muscle swelling, combined revascularization can provide favorable outcomes in symptomatic MMD.

Some of the pediatric moyamoya patients spend their childhood without diagnosed as moyamoya disease (MMD) because of their mild ischemic attacks and emerge again with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke in their adulthood. This study was aimed to clarify the clinical characteristics of adult moyamoya patients with childhood onset and elucidate the impact of long disease period on their clinical features. Present study included 116 untreated hemispheres of 69 adult patients with MMD. They were divided into two groups: childhood onset group (26 hemispheres of 14 patients) and adult onset group (90 hemispheres of 55 patients). Clinical features were compared between the two groups. The incidence of hemorrhagic stroke was significantly higher in childhood onset group (P = 0.0091). Lenticulostriate and choroidal channels were more developed in childhood onset group (P = 0.044 and P <0.001, respectively). Vault moyamoya was more frequently observed in childhood onset group (P <0.001). The development of surgical collaterals through indirect bypass was more marked in childhood onset group (P = 0.0019). Multivariate analysis revealed that childhood onset and developed choroidal channels were significantly associated with the occurrence of hemorrhagic stroke (OR 4.31 [95% CI 1.21–15.4], P = 0.025 and OR 6.78 [95% CI 1.78–25.8], P = 0.0050, respectively). This study clearly shows that adult moyamoya patients with childhood onset have more developed spontaneous collaterals, which may, in turn, highly causes hemorrhagic stroke. Adult moyamoya patients with “childhood onset” should be recognized as a novel and important concept when elucidating the underlying mechanisms of hemorrhagic stroke in MMD.
