Background And Purpose

Method

We retrospectively reviewed 109 patients with unilateral MMD treated at Beijing Tiantan Hospital. Clinical features, radiologic findings, and outcomes were analyzed.

Conclusion

A one-peak pattern in age distribution, lower grade of Suzuki stage, fewer familial cases, and posterior cerebral artery involvement were observed in patients with unilateral MMD. Contralateral abnormalities on initial angiography and infarction at onset were risk factors for contralateral progression in adult and pediatric patients, respectively. Good functional outcomes can be anticipated in the vast majority of surgically treated patients.

Main results

We retrospectively reviewed 109 patients with unilateral MMD treated at Beijing Tiantan Hospital. Clinical features, radiologic findings, and outcomes were analyzed.
