Moyamoya disease in children.

B S Schoenberg, J F Mellinger, D G Schoenberg

    Southern Medical Journal
    |March 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Moyamoya disease, a rare condition causing recurrent strokes in children, was reviewed in five pediatric patients. Angiography suggests characteristic telangiectasias are normally dilated vessels.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Vascular Neurology

    Background:

    • Moyamoya disease is a rare, progressive cerebrovascular disorder.
    • It typically presents with recurrent ischemic strokes or transient ischemic attacks in children.
    • Cerebral angiography is crucial for diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • A review of Mayo Clinic cases identified five pediatric patients with moyamoya disease.
    • The presenting symptom in these cases was primarily recurrent stroke.
    • Seizures were an infrequent presentation.

    Findings:

    • The characteristic angiographic findings of moyamoya disease, specifically telangiectasias, may represent normally present, dilated intracranial vessels.
    • This challenges previous understandings of the underlying pathology.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the nature of these vessels could lead to improved diagnostic criteria.
    • Further research into the vascular changes in moyamoya disease is warranted.
    • This may influence future treatment strategies for pediatric stroke.
