Regions of steal phenomenon are spatially correlated with elevated ADC in normal-appearing WM of patients with Moyamoya disease. This structural abnormality may reflect low-grade ischemic injury after exhaustion of the cerebrovascular reserve capacity.
Ok, I have to admit this article is beyond me a good bit! If I am interpreting this correctly, there is a limit to the amount of "reserve" capacity. If someone else can shed more light on this and put it into plain english I would appreciate it!!
(My best guess is the brain has a limited capacity on growing the extra veins and supplying blood via the indirect routes? But low-grade ischemic injury seems to indicate this has not been a severe complication.)

Hi I am Jane Yu,was led this blog through the link on wikipedia.
My mom has been suffering from MMD since late 2008, is now hospitalized with severe condition. A doctor said she has reached a final stage of mmd n there's no point for a surgery. Btw, could you be more specific as to what it means by ' blood thinner' to help its flow ?
She's gonna be discharged fm the hospital in a few days but I know that there's nothing much I can do for her -!..
Look forward to hearing ur comment! Thanks.
