| Abstract | Background and Purpose: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) caused by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion are common in Moyamoya disease (MMD) patients, but WMH burden with comprehensive cognition in adult asymptomatic MMD remains unknown. This study tried to investigate the association between the WMH burden and cognitive function in adult asymptomatic MMD. Methods: Sixty-four adult asymptomatic MMD patients without surgical revascularization were enrolled in this study and underwent a 3T MRI scan and complete cognitive tests from 2021 to 2022. WMH volume was extracted with brain anatomical analysis using the diffeomorphic deformation (BAAD) toolbox, which works on SPM 12 software. Multivariable linear regression analysis was performed to assess the association between WMH burden and cognitive function in asymptomatic MMD. Results: Firstly, our data showed that lower education levels and higher WMH burden were strongly related to global cognitive impairment after adjusting for other variables. Secondly, WMH severity was significantly associated with several domains of neurocognitive function, including memory, semantic memory, and executive function. Finally, when stratified by sex, the female participants with WMH severity had lower cognitive performance in all areas than male participants. Conclusions: These results suggest that WMH burden was highly correlated with global cognition, memory, semantic memory, and executive function in asymptomatic MMD. Especially in female participants, the relationship became more evident. |
