Add to shopping cart Description Moyamoya, a Japanese word meaning "puffy, hazy, obscure, or vague" describes the smoky appearance of the vascular collateral network this disease has on angiography. Moyamoya was first categorized by Dr. Suzuki in 1969 to describe the abnormal vascular networks at the base of the brain for which this disease is recognized worldwide. Written by the world's leading experts, this is the first text to cover this cerebrovascular occlusive disorder. Initally believed to affect patients primarilly of Japanese descent, it is now clear that moyamoya disease is not restricted certain racial genotypes or localitites. Because the etiology of this disease remains unclear, the diagnosis depends on radiographic findings through angiography, MRI, and MRA. Topics covered include: -Definitions and guidelines -Etiology of moyamoya disease -Angiographic diagnosis and magnetic resonance imaging -Clinical manifestations -Management strategies including: medical therapy, selection of surgical procedures, post-operative evaluation

Moyamoya Disease Radiology Cases in Pediatric Emergency Medicine Volume 3, Case 9 Karen R. Sevigny Brown, MD Loren G. Yamamoto, MD, MPH Kapiolani Medical Center For Women And Children University of Hawaii John A. Burns School of Medicine L = Lateral ventricles. The anterior horns and the posterior horns are shown in this diagram. 3 = Third ventricle. CC = Corpus callosum. C = Caudate nucleus. P = Putamen G = Globus Pallidus. The putamen and globus pallidus together form the lenticular (lentiform) nucleus. T = Thalamus Arrows = Internal Capsule [anterior limb, posterior limb, genu (bend)]. O = Optic radiations. A = Auditory radiations. The corticospinal tract originates from the motor strip of the cerebral cortex. The fibers collect as they traverse through the posterior limb of internal capsule. The tract largely crosses the midline in the decussation of the pyramids. Fibers exit the spinal cord at their respective levels. View our patient's CT scan. T1 (left image) and T2 (right image) weighted axial images are shown (different levels). On the T1 image, the ventricles appear to be dark and the infarct seen in the left lenticular nucleus is dark as well. The T2 image is a lower cut through the center of the infarct. The T2 image shows the CSF within the ventricles to be white. The infarct appears as a white lesion in the caudate nucleus and the left putamen. In the T2 image, internal capsule is dark. Note the obvious distortion of the anterior limb of the left internal capsule, compared to the right. The posterior limb of the left internal capsule is also slightly distorted (compared to the right) adjacent to the infarct in the putamen. This study is read as an infarct in the left basal ganglia, the posterior limb of internal capsule, and the head of the caudate. The structures of this T2 image are labeled if you have difficulty identifying the structures.

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.

Abstract Close Window Hemorrhagic Moyamoya Disease during Pregnancy John C.L. Sun, Margaret Yakimov, Ismail Al-Badawi, Christopher R. Honey Abstract: Background: Intracranial hemorrhage in pregnant patients with Moyamoya disease is rare. We review the case of one such patient who presented with pre-eclampsia and a catastrophic intracerebral hemorrhage in order to highlight the associated management difficulties. Methods: A case of a pregnant (31 weeks) female brought to the emergency department with hypertension and a progressive decrease in her level of consciousness is presented. She rapidly developed a dilated right pupil and left extensor posturing. A CT scan of her head showed a large putamenal intracerebral hemorrhage. She was intubated, ventilated and given intravenous mannitol and magnesium sulfate. She underwent a simultaneous craniotomy and Cesarean section. Post-operatively the patient's ICP and jugular venous saturation were monitored in the intensive care unit. Results: The patient delivered a 1185g infant who did well. The patient's ICP was well controlled until the tenth post-operative day when she developed malignant brain edema and died.

About Moyamoya Disease In 1950's, Japanese leading neurosurgeons at that time began to notice the new clinical entity of moyamoya disease. Since its etiology was unknown, it was named in various ways, such as moyamoya disease, chiri-chiri disease, etc. Moyamoya disease is now officially named in Japan as "the spontaneous occlusion of the circle of Willis." The terminal portions of the intracranial internal carotid arteries progressively become stenotic (narrowing) or occlusive. Due to reduced blood flow to the brain, tiny collateral vessels at the base of the brain enlarge to become as collateral pathways. These vessels are called "moyamoya vessels" because the angiographic appearance of these vessels resemble the "cloud" or "puff" of the cigarette smoke, which is described as "moya-moya" in Japanese language ( Suzuki J, Takaku A About the name of moyamoya disease Moyamoya Vessels (Abnormally proliferating arteries?) In 1960's, moyamoya disease became the main interest for the neurosurgeons and neurologists because this disease was prevalent solely in Japan and/or Japanese ethnicity. In 1994, the number of the annual patients having moyamoya disease was estimated about 3,900. Normal cerebral angiogram and that of moyamoya patient Symptoms of moyamoya disease include brain ischaemia and hemorrhage. There are two peaks in age distribution: below 10 and at 30-40 years old, with the highest peak in the first decade and lower peak in the adults. Under the age of 10, brain ischemia (transient ischemic attack and cerebral infarction) is common whilst brain hemorrhage is more common at the age of 30-40 years old.

VASCULAR DISEASE S ANEURYSMS Anterior communicating artery aneurysm Aneurysms are rare paediatric lesions that can affect blood vessels throughout the body. They represent a "blistering" or "bubble-like" protrusion off of an artery. In the brain these "bubbles" tend to occur at very predictable locations. Usually they are at points where a major artery is branching into smaller arteries. These sights are not in the brain substance per se, but rather in the deep crevices between the various lobes of the brain. Most aneurysms that are found are in older individuals, in the 4th and 5th decades of life, but on rare occasions they can be found in paediatrics. Some causes of aneurysms are hereditary, but most are found in the general population without any specific cause. Most aneurysms are found due to a sudden burst of blood into or around the brain because of a temporary rupture of the "bubble". This "bubble " will usually then seal itself off spontaneously. Usually some if not all of the blood will be found in and around these crevices in the brain, what are called the subarachnoid spaces. Hence the bleeding that occurs with ruptured aneurysms tends to be
