'EDAMS' (encephaloduroarteriomyosynangiosis) a major surgery has taken place here at Institute of Neurosciences Kolkata (I-NK) on 29th April 2010 (morning) was very successful.
Age of the patient: 4 years
Doctors involved in the surgery:
Drs. - RP Sengupta, Martin Lahecka, Rajib Samanta, Amit Chakraborty, Sucharita Chakraborty and Paivi Tanskanen.
Background:
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare disorder of the blood vessels of the brain typically seen in children less than 10 years old. It is characterized by a progressive occlusive disease of the cerebral vasculature with particular involvement of the circle of Willis and the feeding arteries. The name Moyamoya is Japanese for "puff of smoke". This distinctive name describes the angiographic appearance of the abnormal vascular collateral networks that develop adjacent to the stenotic vessels. The changes may affect the major blood vessels of the brain including the anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral arteries.
The symptoms and clinical course vary and depend upon the location and severity of the hemorrhage or stroke. Thus symptoms may be mild or in its worst form, severe neurologic deficits.
The exact etiology of MMD is unknown but several familial cases have been reported. Several other diseases have been associated with the disease.

Aim of this surgery:
To improve blood flow to the brain so that ischemic stroke and hemorrhage will be less likely in the future. Most of these procedures use the blood vessels in the scalp to improve the circulation of the brain. In an encephaloduroarteriosynagniosis (EDAS) or encephaloduroarteriomyosynangiosis (EDAMS) the scalp blood vessel, called the superficial temporal artery (STA), with or without muscle, is isolated and laid onto the surface of the brain. The goal is that over time the brain will recruit new growth of blood vessels in from this large blood vessel, improving the circulation of the brain.
There are several different techniques but some are more effective than the other.
However, we chose the most advanced and the recommended technique which at the moment is considered state-of-the-art in treating children with Moyamoya disease.
After the surgery on 29th April 2010 morning, the patient is recovering very well in the neurological ward at I-NK surrounded by very pleased family members.
Readers, you are kindly requested to circulate this very IMPORTANT NEWS among your network as this 'EDAMS' surgery is probably the first successful, one of its kind surgery that has taken place in Eastern India. Public must be aware of I-NK's achievements / milestones and the kind of advanced surgeries it can perform successfully.
Should you need more information on the above case, please contact me directly on my cell.
