, moyamoya is a rare and progressive condition that affects the blood vessels in the brain.It is called “moyamoya”, which means “fuzzy” or “puff of smoke” in Japanese.
This condition occurs when the arteries at the base of the brain (especially the internal carotid artery) become narrowed or blocked, resulting in reduced blood flow.
The body tries to compensate by creating a network of small blood vessels to bypass the blockage, which looks like a “puff of smoke” on imaging scans.
Symptoms of moyamoya disorder
Symptoms of moyamoya disease can vary, depending on the severity of the condition and the patient’s age.Complaints such as sudden falls experienced by pediatric stroke patients are one of the symptoms.
In another case, a 4 year old toddler suddenly couldn’t speak after crying.Common symptoms include:
Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA): Sudden weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking.
Seizures: Common in children with moyamoya disease
Headache: Persistent or severe headache due to reduced blood flow
Cognitive and developmental delays: In children, this can manifest as difficulty in learning or concentrating
Vision problems: Blurred or double vision
Paralysis or weakness: On one side of the body (hemiparesis)
