Moyamoya disease--a review.

J Suzuki, N Kodama

    Stroke
    |January 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Moyamoya disease, a rare cerebrovascular condition, presents differently in children and adults. Angiographic findings are key to diagnosis, though further research into its pathogenesis is needed for effective treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Vascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Moyamoya disease is a rare, progressive cerebrovascular disorder characterized by stenosis or occlusion of the terminal portion of the internal carotid arteries and the circle of Willis.
    • Understanding the clinical and radiological variations, particularly between pediatric and adult populations, is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
    • The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and optimal therapeutic strategies remain areas requiring further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical characteristics of Moyamoya disease based on a historical cohort.
    • To emphasize the significance of angiographic findings and their correlation with clinical presentation.
    • To explore potential reasons for differing presentations in children versus adults and propose a pathophysiological mechanism.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 100 cases of Moyamoya disease diagnosed between 1961 and 1980.
    • Detailed review of clinical data, including symptoms and neurological deficits.
    • Comprehensive evaluation of angiographic findings to characterize vascular abnormalities.

    Main Results:

    • The study identified distinct clinical and radiological features differentiating pediatric and adult patients with Moyamoya disease.
    • Angiographic findings were pivotal in confirming the diagnosis and understanding disease progression.
    • Proposed explanations for presentation variations and a potential pathophysiological pathway were outlined.

    Conclusions:

    • Moyamoya disease exhibits varied clinical and radiological manifestations influenced by age.
    • Surgical interventions such as perivascular sympathectomy and superior cervical ganglionectomy may offer some benefit.
    • Further research into the disease's pathogenesis is essential for developing more definitive and effective therapeutic approaches.
