Abstract
BACKGROUND: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare and complex pathological condition characterized by an abnormal collateral circulation network in the basal brain. The diagnosis of MMD and its progression is unpredictable and influenced by many factors. MMD can affect the blood vessels supplying the eyes, resulting in a range of ocular symptoms. In this study, we developed a deep learning model using real-world data to assist a diagnosis and determine the stage of the disease using retinal photographs.
