Abstract：Objective To explore the risk factors related to occipital lobe infarction induced by Moyamoya disease (MD) complicated with posterior circulation lesions (PCL). Methods The clinical data of 258 patients with MD complicated with PCL treated in our hospital from May, 2003 to May, 2013, of whom, 107 had occipital lobe infarction ipsilateral to PCL and 151 not, were analyzed retrospectively. The risk factors related to occipital lobe infarction were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis. Results The risk factors related to the ipsilateral occipital infarction were hypertension, high Magikura stage of posterior circulation and old age in orlder of dangerous nature in the patients with MD complicated with PCL. Conclusions The occipital infarction is related to the multiple factors including hypertension, high Magikura stage and old age and a good understanding of the risk factors is helpful to the decreasing the incidence of occipital infarction in the patients with MD complicated with PCL.
