Article Synopsis
- - Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a serious condition affecting blood vessels at the base of the brain, leading to reduced blood flow and the formation of collateral arteries; the study focuses on eight pediatric cases (ages 0-18) to analyze clinical and imaging findings.
- - Three patients (37.5%) showed signs of acute brain tissue damage due to restricted blood flow, while two (25%) had chronic damage with scar tissue, and one child exhibited specific areas of stroke in the brain.
- - The study also found various presentations of MMD beyond typical strokes, including patients with normal imaging or different issues like asymmetric ventricles, highlighting the complex nature of this disease in younger individuals.
