There is paucity of literature on anesthetic management of pediatric patients in the Indian subcontinent. The main objective of our study was to evaluate the perioperative course and outcome of children undergoing revascularization surgery of Moyamoya disease. Methodology: A series of 11 patients aged between 5 months-10 years age group were analyzed overa period of one year.
