Moyamoya disease (MMD), a progressive cerebrovascular disorder characterized by stenosis of intracranial arteries and the formation of compensatory collateral networks, presents complex management challenges. This case examines the clinical course of a Caucasian woman in her late 30s over four hospital admissions spanning less than a year, highlighting the interplay between medical, surgical, and rehabilitative interventions. It illuminates the multidisciplinary approach required to diagnose and manage MMD and its complications and the importance of investigating atypical presentations of the condition.
