Moyamoya syndrome is a disease in which certain arteries in the brain are constricted. Blood flow is blocked by the constriction, and also by blood clots. MOYAMOYA, a Japanese word meaning "something hazy like a puff of cigarette smoke drifting in the air,''is the descriptive term we apply to a peculiar angiographic picture consisting of abnormal net-like vessels at the base of the brain. In addition to this abnormality, angiography usually reveals stenosis or occlusion of the internal carotid artery at the level of its terminal bifurcation together with abnormalities of the anterior and middle cerebral arteries. These changes are usually bilateral. |
