Secondly, the patients with infarction are generally treated by thrombus therapy. It can be treated with dilation, vasodilator, calcium antagonist and hormone. Vasodilators were used in patients with ischemia, and intracranial pressure and hemostasis were used in patients with hemorrhage.

Finally: the surgical treatment of moyamoya disease can be divided into direct bypass, indirect bypass and the combination of the two. According to the expert consensus of current evidence, for patients with cerebral ischemic subtypes, the treatment strategies for improving hemodynamic disorders are as follows: direct bypass or indirect bypass is effective for children; direct bypass or direct bypass combined with indirect bypass is effective for adults, but indirect bypass alone is not recommended because of its poor effect on adults.
