Abstract
Moyamoya disease, a progressive occlusive arteriopathy mainly affecting the supraclinoid internal carotid artery, leads to abnormal "Moyamoya vessels" and ischemic events in children due to decreased cerebral blood flow. Surgery, especially indirect revascularization, is suggested for pediatric Moyamoya cases. We present the Encephalo-Duro-Mio-Synangiosis (EDMS) technique, illustrated with figures and videos, based on 14 years' experience performing 71 surgeries by the senior author (SGJ) and the Moyamoya Interdisciplinary Workteam at "Prof. Dr. J. P. Garrahan" Pediatric Hospital. EDMS is a simple and effective treatment for Moyamoya disease, enhancing procedure precision and safety, reducing associated risks, complications, and improving clinical outcomes.
