MOYAMOYA DISEASE TREATMENT

MOYAMOYA DISEASE

Moyamoya disease is a rare blood vessel (vascular) disorder in which the carotid artery in the skull becomes blocked or narrowed, reducing blood flow to your brain. Tiny blood vessels then develop at the base of the brain in an attempt to supply the brain with blood.

The condition may cause a ministroke (transient ischemic attack), stroke or bleeding in the brain. It can also affect how well your brain functions and cause cognitive and developmental delays or disability.

MOYAMOYA SYMPTOMS

Moyamoya disease may occur at any age, though symptoms most commonly occur between 5 and 10 years of age in children and between 30 and 50 years of age in adults.

Moyamoya disease causes different symptoms in adults and children. In children, the first symptom is usually a stroke or recurrent transient ischemic attack (TIA), especially in children. Adults also may experience these symptoms but also experience bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke) from abnormal brain vessels. Spotting symptoms early is very important to prevent serious complications such as a stroke.

Accompanying signs and symptoms of moyamoya disease related to reduced blood flow to the brain include:

  • Headache
  • Seizures
  • Weakness, numbness or paralysis in your face, arm or leg, typically on one side of your body
  • Visual disturbances
  • Difficulties with speaking or understanding others (aphasia)
  • Cognitive or developmental delays
  • Involuntary movements

These symptoms can be triggered by exercise, crying, coughing, straining or a fever.
