Moyamoya disease Recognised in Japan in the 1960's, this is a progressive occlusive cerebral arteritis affecting the distal internal carotid arteries near the Circle of Willis. Moyamoya is Japanese for "puff of smoke" and describes the appearance of the resultant network of abnormal small collateral vessels seen on angiography. Epidemiology Incidence Rare - affects mainly children and young adults. Risk Factors More common Asians and in girls. There is a familial form which links to a gene on chromosome 17q25 - though the exact underlying cause remains unknown. Associations have also been made with leptospirosis, TB, certain anaemias, vascular disorders causing intimal thickening including hypertension and atherosclerosis, and a mixed bag of congenital syndromes (Down, Turner, Marfan, Apert) and diseases (Neurofibromatosis type I, Tuberose sclerosis, Hirschsprung) Presentation Clinical features Generally those associated with TIA (more common with children) and stroke (haemorrhagic more typical in adults): headache, hemiparesis, seizures, disturbed consciousness, speech deficits (aphasia), sensory and cognitive impairments, involuntary movements, and vision problems.

Moyamoya Disease (See also Vascular Malformations 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).

Moyamoya disease This response submitted by Neurologist on 9/13/95. Moyamoya disease occurs worlwide but, for unknown reasons, is more frequent in Japan. In China, most cases seem to be associated with leptospirosis infection. In America, no cause is usually found although various associated medical conditions have been reported. Treatment is not available. Revascularization procedures have been attempted but long term results are unknown. Hope this is helpful.

Help Moyamoya Disease : A Review Gosalakkal, J.A. Moyamoya Disease : A Review Neurology India pp. 6-10 Full text available as: PDF - Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader or other PDF viewer. Abstract Moyamoya is probably an inherited vasocclusive disease first described in Japan and now reported from all over the world. Genetic linkage studies and study of the factors possibly involved in its pathogenesis have shed new light on this disease. There is some suggestion that the pathogenesis may vary between races. A number of revascularization procedures have been devised. There is still controversy regarding the timing and the type of surgery. Functional MRI and PET scanning may provide more objective criterion on the outcome of these procedures. Neuropsychological studies may also be of use in judging the benefits of surgery. In this review, some of the recent advances in the study of the genetics and pathogenesis of the disease are reviewed and the clinical manifestation and the role of surgery are discussed. Relative lack of literature from outside Japan and the Korean peninsula has hampered the understanding of the disease in other countries.

Background Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare disorder of the blood vessels of the brain. It is characterized by a progressive occlusive disease of the cerebral vasculature with particular involvement of the circle of Willis and the feeding arteries. The name Moyamoya is Japanese for "puff of smoke". This distinctive name describes the angiographic appearance of the abnormal vascular collateral networks that develop adjacent to the stenotic vessels. The changes may affect the major blood vessels of the brain including the anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral arteries. The symptoms and clinical course vary widely and depend upon the location and severity of the hemorrhage or damage. Thus signs and symptoms may range from asymptomatic to transient events to severe neurologic deficits. ADULTS CHILDREN Hemorrhage (intraventricular, subarachnoid, or intracerebral hemorrhage) more common Cerebral ischemic events more common Hemiparesis, monoparesis, sensory impairment, involuntary movements, headaches, dizziness, or seizures Mental retardation or persistent neurologic deficits The exact etiology of MMD is unknown but several familial cases have been reported. Several other diseases have been associated with the disease.

In Japanese, Moyamoya means ‘hazy’. The disease derives its peculiar name from the angiographic appearance of cerebral vessels in the disease that resembles a ‘puff of smoke’. In children the most common presentation is that of recurrent episodes of cerebral ischemia manifesting clinically as focal deficits, parasthesiae and seizures(13). Two cases of Moyamoya disease with uncommon present-ing features are described here. Case Report Case 1: Pre-operative digital substraction angio-graphy (DSA) revealed the classical pattern of progressive vasculopathy as seen in moyamoya disease with partial reformation of anterior circulation through the vertebro-basilar system (

However, one of the characteristics of moyamoya disease is the lipid accumulation in the blood vessels - a clue. The treatment therefore lies in identifying various chemicals which will remove lipid accumulation which will, in turn, further delay the progression of moyamoya disease. Since this is a rare disease and adults have a 10% mortality and children have about 4%, it is therefore considered a deadly disease. "Officially" it is considered a genetic disease, however my guess is that environmental influences are making the disease appear much more apparent. I think that more people will get moyamoya and that the disease is no longer restricted to just Asian countries. My guess it is probably dietary.
