Extractions: There is no cure for moyamoya disease. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Individuals experiencing TIAs and stroke may be given aspirin, vasodilators, or anticoagulants to reduce the risk of future attacks. There are several different types of revascularization (restoration of blood supply) surgery that may be performed in some cases. Children usually respond better to revascularization surgery than adults.

There are several different types of revascularization (restoration of blood supply) surgery that may be performed in some cases. Children usually respond better to revascularization surgery than adults. Within the NINDS research programs, moyamoya disease is addressed primarily through studies associated with TIA and stroke. NINDS is the leading supporter of research on stroke and TIA in the United States and sponsors studies ranging from clinical trials to investigations of basic biological mechanisms.

Extractions: Clinical Information: This 15-year-old white female who was otherwise normal presents with right-sided hemiparesis. Symptoms began approximately 10 days prior to evaluation and involved the right foot, arm and right side of the face. After a throrough history was obtained, it was discovered that the patient has had headaches associated with bilateral hand numbness in the past. T1/Gd MRA MRA/Gd MRI Findings: Displayed are MRI and MRA images from this patient. The axial and sagittal T1 images show an abnormal flow voids within the region of the basal ganglia, and probably some subacute hemorrhage, secondary to ischemia/infarction on the left. The T2 weighted axial image shows a focal area of ischemic infarction, corresponding to the small area of subacute hemorrhage in the left basal ganglia near the internal capsule (accounting for the patient's most recent stroke). The post Gd T1W coronal image shows some enhancement in this most recent area of ischemic infarction. Lastly, two MRA studies, 3D TOF with MT, pre and post Gd, demonstrate complete occlusion of both internal carotid arteries at their supraclinoid location. (Note the anatomic definition of the venous structures shining through on post Gd sagittal image). The posterior circulation is relatively intact. The patient underwent cerebral angiography for therapeutic planning and has received a pial synangiosis procedure discussed below. She is doing well.

Extractions: CEREBROVASCULAR PROGRAM CEREBROVASCULAR DIAGNOSES INDEX What is moyamoya disease? Moyamoya disease is characterized by the spontaneous occlusion of one or usually both internal carotid arteries in the intracranial region resulting in the formation of a fine network of neovascularity (blood vessel growth) at the base of the brain. The term "moyamoya" was introduced to describe the hazy, puff-of-smoke appearance of the neovascularization that develops. This condition has a higher incidence in Japan, but may be found in all nationalities. This disease has two age peaks: juvenile ( What conditions is moyamoya disease associated with?

Extractions: MOYAMOYA SYNDROME/ STROKE IN CHILDREN A stroke occurs when an area of brain tissue becomes permanently damaged by not receiving enough blood and oxygen. This can result in various degrees of paralysis, visual loss, speech deficits, seizures, and even headaches. Multiple small strokes can erode intellectual functions as well. Once these symptoms manifest, improvement may or may not occur, depending upon many individual factors. One cause of stroke in children is inflammation of the blood vessels supplying the brain, which can occur with infections from certain viruses or other rare organisms. Treatment of this problem is directed toward the causative organism. Children with sickle cell anemia have a high risk of stroke. This occurs in about 20% of patients with this disease, and these children often have multiple strokes. Treatment of this condition involves fluid administration, blood transfusions, and oxygen. Strokes also occur in children with birth defects of the heart, as small clots that originate in the heart can escape and block blood vessels that supply the brain. This can also happen with infections of the heart valves. Treatment of these conditions includes blood thinners, repair of the heart defect itself, or antibiotics against the heart valve infections. Rarely, migraine headache can cause stroke. Surgery plays little role in the treatment of these forms of stroke. There is however, a cause of stroke in children that can be treated with surgery. This is moyamoya syndrome, which is a progressive disease of the large arteries that supply the brain. These vessels slowly occlude over time, and little, if any, blood flows though them. The body tries to compensate by drawing blood from the vessels that supply the brain's surrounding structures instead. Although this is helpful, it is frequently not enough to adequately supply the brain. The brain will either suffer many small strokes, or will be forced to function with inadequate blood supply. In addition, some children will have temporary symptoms of stroke, which clear completely later. These are called transient ischemic attacks (TIA).

Occlusion of the left ACA and MCA, and intense signal of both posterior cerebral arteries (PCA) are seen. Some additional vessels at the level of the proximal PCA-portions are also visible.
