Moyamoya disease - what does this mean
Moyamoya disease is a rare, progressive cerebrovascular disorder caused by blocked arteries at the base of the brain. it results in the formation of tiny vessels (collateral circulation) to compensate for the blocked arteries, which form a “moyamoya” pattern on angiography. it can lead to stroke, transient ischemic attack, and ischemic or hemorrhagic events.
What happens during the disease - moyamoya disease
Moyamoya disease is a rare, progressive cerebrovascular disorder caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors that lead to narrowing or occlusion of the arteries at the base of the brain. this results in the formation of collateral vessels that resemble a "puff of smoke" on angiography, hence the name moyamoya. the reduced blood flow to the brain can lead to ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, and other neurological symptoms.
