Increased cortical microvascularization has been proposed to be a Moyamoya disease (MMD)-specific characteristic. It was the aim of our study to characterize the anatomic pattern and microhemodynamics of cortical microvascularization in MMD. Intraoperative indocyanine green videoangiography was perf...
