Key Points

This research aims to identify key factors associated with outcomes in pediatric hemorrhagic moyamoya disease (MMD).
Analysis of admission mRS scores to assess outcomes
Evaluation of AChA dilation as an outcome predictor
Comparison of conventional angiographic classification with patient outcomes
Admission mRS score ≥2 is strongly linked to adverse outcomes
AChA dilation significantly predicts patient outcomes
Conventional angiographic classification shows no significant association with hemorrhage outcomes

Abstract

Hemorrhagic MMD is an aggressive subtype characterized by posterior collateral vulnerability, female predominance, and older age. Admission mRS score ≥2 and AChA dilatation are key factors strongly associated with adverse outcomes. Conventional angiographic classification does not demonstrate a significant association with hemorrhage outcome; assessment of the posterior circulation is critical for stratifying patient outcomes and guiding early intervention.
