To investigate the effect of regional cerebral blood flow on the effect of midazolam, we evaluated 99mTc-hexamethylpropylene-amine-oxime-single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in 37 cases of childhood moyamoya disease. They were divided into two groups according to the findings of SPECT;...
