Table 1:
Score | Description of classification |
---|---|
0 | No evidence of disease |
I | Mild-to-moderate stenosis around ICA bifurcation with absent or slightly developed ICA MMD |
II | Severe stenosis around the ICA bifurcation or occlusion of either proximal anterior or MCA branches with well-developed ICA MMD |
III | Occlusion of both anterior and MCA branches with well-developed ICA MMD (only a few of anterior or MCA branches or both are faintly opacified in antegrade fashion through meshwork of ICA MMD) |
IV | Complete occlusion of both anterior and MCA branches with absent or small amount of ICA MMD (without opacification of either anterior or MCA branches in antegrade fashion) |
MMD = moyamoya disease.
