Fig. 5 Blood volume flow (BVF) values (mean ± standard error
of the mean [SEM], median) of five patients with probable unilateral moyamoya
disease in comparison with values for healthy subjects serving as controls.
Symptomatic (moyamoya) internal carotid arteries (ICA) have significantly
lower blood volume flow than control arteries and contralateral ICAs. Blood
volume flow was greater in contralateral (normal) ICA and basilar artery than
in controls. All results were highly significant. Bars indicate blood volume
flow within arteries studied. **Statistically significant
difference between groups (p < 0.05). PMM = probable (unilateral)
moyamoya disease, CON = controls, ICA S = symptomatic (moyamoya) internal
carotid artery, ICA C = contralateral (normal) internal carotid artery, ICA =
internal carotid artery, BA = basilar artery.
