Résumé

Introduction Moyamoya angiopathy (MMA) is associated with a high risk of stroke, but it is also increasingly recognized as leading to cognitive impairment. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, nature, and severity of vascular cognitive impairment no dementia (VCIND) in adults with MMA and to identify clinical and imaging factors associated with VCIND. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of consecutive adult patients with MMA followed in two tertiary hospitals (Toulouse and Paris Lariboisiere). All patients underwent neuropsychological assessment and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). VCIND was defined as at least two variables of the same cognitive process with z-scores of < 2 standard deviations, regardless of the cognitive domain, that do not interfere in everyday life. Baseline demographic, clinical, and imaging data were compared between patients with and without VCIND. Results A total of 102 patients (mean age 43 years; 65% women) were included. Thirty-four patients (33.3%) had VCIND. VCIND was mild in 20/34 (59%), moderate in 8/34 (23%), and severe in 6/34 (18%) patients. Executive function was the most widely affected (25.5%), followed by attention and processing speed (24.8%). In univariable analyses, VCIND was associated with ischemic stroke at diagnosis and the presence of ischemic lesions on MRI. Conclusions VCIND is highly prevalent in adults with MMA. Executive functions and processing speed are predominantly affected. These findings may guide clinicians in their evaluation of patients with MMA. Further research should assess the effect of revascularization therapies on cognitive functions.
