BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Clinical significance of silent microbleeds is unknown in moyamoya disease. This study was aimed to clarify the incidence, locations, and longitudinal course. METHODS This prospective cohort study included 78 nontreated patients with moyamoya disease. The incidence and locations of silent microbleeds were evaluated on T2*-weighted MRI. MR examinations were repeated ever...

Detection of subtle ischemic injuries in moyamoya disease may enable optimization of timing of revascularization surgery, and could potentially improve functional outcomes. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is widely used to study functional organization of the brain, but it remains unclear whether rs-fMRI could elucidate distinct characteristics in moyamoya disease....

Introduction Moyamoya disease is a rare cerebrovascular occlusive disease of unknown etiology, characterized by stenosis or occlusion of both internal carotid arteries (ICAs) at the supraclinoid portion and an abnormal vascular network (moyamoya vessels)(1). 3-T MR angiography clearly shows moyamoya vessels at the base of the brain (2). Gadolinium-enhanced MRI depicts dilated pial vessels (ivy ...

Moyamoya is a progressive disorder of the cerebral vasculature. Our report describes a rare case of Moyamoya disease with distal peripheral pulmonary artery stenoses and coronary fistulae in a 12-year-old Caucasian female patient.

Progressive moyamoya disease in pregnancy and puerperium has not been reported previously. Here, we present a 39-year-old woman who had been found to have moderate stenosis of right middle cerebral artery (MCA) 4 years prior to her pregnancy, finally suffering minor completed stroke due to progressive moyamoya disease at the early postpartum period. Three days after cesarean section without any...

Moyamoya is an intriguing and controrersial syndrome. This patient study senes to align the patbophysiology of intracranial hemorrhage in moyamoya with the cerebral rascular disease seen with hypertension, or aging. The historical eridence Unking lipohyalinosis and microaneurysms to cerebral hemorrhage is reviewed, the pathogenesis of this angiopathy Is discussed, and explanations considered fo...

Moyamoya Disease – Case Report. Moyamoya disease is a more common disease in Asian population and well discussed since 1957. Because of the continuously increasing population of people with migration background, this disease is getting a topical subject in European countries. Characterized by occlusion of the distal carotid arteries, it is a progressive disease with a fragile network of basal c...
