 note = {To clarify the effect of surgery on the prevention cerebral hemorrhage in adult moyamoya disease, we compared postoperative courses between superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) anastomosis and conservative therapy. The study subjects were 30 adults with moyamoya disease. Unilateral STA-MCA anastomosis was conducted in 7 of these 30 cases, and bilateral STA-MCA anastomosis was conducted in 8 of these 30 cases. Therefore, anastomosis was performed in a total of 23 sides. The postoperative clinical course was observed for more than 5 years after the STA-MCA anastomosis. Cerebral hemorrhage occurred after operation in 2 sides (8.7%) among the 23 sides that received STAMCA anastomosis. On the contrary, hemorrhage occurred during conservative therapy in 5 sides (13.5%) among 37 non-operation sides (no significance in χ2 test). Cerebral infarction occurred in 3 sides (13%) among 23 sides treated with STA-MCA anastomosis. However, the infarction occurred in 2 sides (5.4%) among the 37 non-operation sides (no significance in χ2 test). Cerebral hemorrhage tended to occur less frequently after STA-MCA anastomosis, and bypass surgery was suggested to have some beneficial effect in preventing cerebral hemorrhage in adult moyamoya disease. However, it was revealed that STA-MCA anastomosis exacerbated the brain ischemia. Therefore, strict management is mandatory in the perioperative period.},
