Moyamoya (MM) disease is a chronic cerebrovascular disease that can lead to progressive stenosis of the terminal portions of the internal carotid arteries and their proximal branches. We sought to investigate and quantify retinal vascular changes in patients with MM vasculopathy (MMV) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) compared to healthy controls. Our findings reveal retinal microvascular changes in patients with MMV and highlights the potential of OCTA imaging for the detection of subclinical retinal pathology.
烟雾病(MM)是一种慢性脑血管疾病,可导致颈内动脉终末段及其近端分支进行性狭窄。我们试图通过光学相干断层扫描血管造影(OCTA)研究并量化烟雾病血管病变(MMV)患者与健康对照者相比的视网膜血管变化。我们的研究结果揭示了MMV患者的视网膜微血管变化,并突出了OCTA成像在检测亚临床视网膜病变方面的潜力。
