We investigated patient characteristics, treatment and outcome of patients with MMV. We retrieved patient characteristics and treatment information and determined functional outcome (modified Rankin Score (mRS); type of school\/work) by structured telephone interviews. We performed uni- and multivariable logistic regression analysis to determine predictors of poor outcome. We included 64 patients with bilateral MMV. In children (31 patients), median age was 5 years (interquartile range (IQR) 2\u201311) and in adults (33 patients), it was 33 years (IQR 28\u201341). Predominant mode of presentation was ischemia (children 84%; adults 88%). Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at presentation was \u22642 in 74%. Revascularization was performed in 42 patients (23 children). Median follow-up time was 46 months (IQR 26\u201390). During this period, 16 patients had recurrent stroke(s) and four patients died. In 73% of the patients (83% surgical group; 55% medically treated group), mRS was \u22642; 46% were able to return to regular school or work, of whom only 41% were on the same level. Univariable analysis revealed that surgical treatment was associated with lower odds of poor outcome ((mRS \u2265 3), OR 0.24; p = 0.017). This association was no longer statistically significant (OR 3.47; p = 0.067) in the multivariable model, including age and diagnosis (moyamoya disease or moyamoya syndrome). In this cohort of patients with MMV who presented in a single European center, a large proportion had good functional outcome. Nevertheless, less than half were able to attend regular school or were able to work at their previous level, indicating a large impact of the disease on their life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10091898","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,27]],"date-time":"2021-04-27T21:18:20Z","timestamp":1619558300000},"page":"1898","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Patients with Moyamoya Vasculopathy Evaluated at a Single-Center in The Netherlands; Clinical Presentation and Outcome"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0031-3130","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Annick","family":"Kronenburg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery, UMC Utrecht Brain Center, G03.129, P.O.
