Abstract
Objectives
To examine outcome of bilateral extracranial to intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgeries for a Down syndrome patient with hard-to-treat epilepsy and moyamoya.
Materials and methods
Superficial temporal arteries were anastamosed using an indirect bypass technique to middle cerebral arteries bilaterally to help limit perfusion deficits and seizure controls.
Results
Two superficial temporal to middle cerebral artery indirect bypass surgeries were performed within 3 months. Post-revascularization improvements included seizure control, gait, perfusion, wakefulness, language and quality of life.
Conclusion
In patients with Down syndrome and moyamoya, improvements in seizure control and quality of life may occur with EC-IC bypass procedures.
