- The study evaluates stroke risk after childbirth in women with Moyamoya Disease (MMD) based on birth mode (cesarean vs. vaginal).
- No significant difference in stroke risk was found between cesarean and vaginal births at 3 months or 3 years postpartum.
- Stroke incidence peaked in the early postpartum period (≤6 months) and decreased thereafter.
- A significant interaction was observed between birth mode and clinical onset type of MMD for stroke risk.
- MMD is not an absolute indication for cesarean birth; birth planning should be individualized based on obstetric factors and clinical onset type.
- Vigilant monitoring and preventive strategies are recommended during the early postpartum period.
