The research was based on 68 cases of moyamoya disease in ch ildren between 1986 and 2002 in Tiantan Hospital and they received operations th r ough four kinds of surgical methods at random. Comparison and analysis of the therapeutic effects of four operative methods of cerebral revascularization were m ade through statistics methods. The result showed that all of the surgical me thods in the research were effective. However, there was no significant differen ce between these surgical methods as far as therapeutic effects were concerned. Fu rthermore, it suggests that it is necessary to select convenient, safe dimin-v ulnerarious surgical methods for patients. The researcher must try their utmost to explore the etiology of MMD to find reliable and effective therapies.
