Prognosis

The natural history of this disorder is not well known. Symptomatic Moyamoya disease have occurred in individuals with seemingly asymptomatic stability thought due to vascular insufficiency secondary to brain trauma which may result from axonal shearing and acceleration / deceleration injuries such as falls and/or high speed motor vehicular accidents. The long term outlook for patients with treated moyamoya seems to be good.Template:Definition While symptoms may seem to improve almost immediately after the in-direct EDAS, EMS, and multiple burr holes surgeries, it will take probably 6–12 months before new vessels (blood supply) can develop sufficiently.^{[citation needed]} With the direct STA-MCA surgery, increased blood supply is immediate.^{[citation needed]}

Once major strokes or bleeding take place, even with treatment, the patient may be left with permanent loss of function so it is very important to treat this condition promptly.

-==Treatment==
-There are many operations that have been developed for the condition, but currently the most favored are the in-direct procedures EDAS, EMS, and multiple burr holes and the direct procedure STA-MCA. Direct [[superficial temporal artery]] (STA) to [[middle cerebral artery]] (MCA) bypass is considered the treatment of choice, although its efficacy, particularly for hemorrhagic disease, remains uncertain. Multiple [[burr hole]]s have been used in frontal and parietal lobes with good neovascularisation achieved.
-The '''EDAS''' ([[encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis]]) procedure is a [[synangiosis]] procedure that requires dissection of a scalp artery over a course of several inches and then making a small temporary opening in the skull directly beneath the artery. The artery is then sutured to the surface of the brain and the bone replaced.
-In the '''EMS''' ([[encephalomyosynangiosis]]) procedure, the [[temporalis]] muscle, which is in the temple region of the forehead, is dissected and through an opening in the skull placed onto the surface of the brain.
-In the '''multiple burr holes''' procedure, multiple small holes (burr holes) are placed in the skull to allow for growth of new vessels into the brain from the scalp.
-In the '''STA-MCA''' procedure, the scalp artery (superficial temporal artery or STA) is directly sutured to an artery on the surface of the brain (middle cerebral artery or MCA). This procedure is also commonly referred to as an EC-IC (External Carotid-Internal Carotid) bypass.
-All of these operations have in common the concept of a blood and oxygen "starved" brain reaching out to grasp and develop new and more efficient means of bringing blood to the brain and bypassing the areas of blockage. The modified direct anastomosis and encephalo-myo-arterio-synagiosis play a role in this improvement by increasing cerebral blood flow (CBF) after the operation. A significant correlation is found between the postoperative effect and the stages of preoperative angiograms. It is crucial for surgery that the anesthesiologist have experience in managing children being treated for moyamoya as the type of anesthesia they require is very different from the standard anesthetic children get for almost any other type of [[neurosurgical]] procedure.
