Treatment of Moyamoya Syndrome Associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Hypothyroidism in an Adult by Encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis: A Case Report

<table>Evaluation of the increase rate of cerebral blood flow (CBF) under diamox stress using a three-dimensional stereotactic region of interest template analysis of <sup>99m</sup>Technetium-ethyl-cysteinate-dimer CBF single-photon emission computed tomography (preoperative (a); postoperative (b)). Preoperative CBF increase rate under diamox stress was impaired more around the central sulcus than on the ipsilateral side (2.2% and 10.8%, resp.). Postoperative CBF increase rate by acetazolamide stress around the left central sulcus was improved (5.7%, green circle) compared with that observed during the preoperative study.</table>
