An Asian man in his 20s developed asymptomatic ipsilateral moyamoya-like vascular changes following orbital and head trauma. An ipsilateral traumatic optic neuropathy with extensive optic cupping ensued. The complex embryology of the ocular vascular development is reviewed as having a potential causative role in the intracranial carotid vasculopathy.

Adult Moyamoya Disease and Moyamoya Syndrome: What Is New?

Article Synopsis
- - Recent developments in moyamoya disease (MMD) genetics highlight the RNF213 gene’s role not only in MMD but also in other conditions like atherosclerotic intracranial arterial stenosis and ischemic strokes.
- - New Japanese guidelines for diagnosing MMD remove the requirement for bilateral carotid artery involvement, acknowledging evidence that unilateral cases often progress to bilateral involvement.
- - Treatment advances suggest antiplatelet therapy is reasonable, while endovascular stenting is ineffective. A trial showed that direct bypass surgery significantly reduced complications compared to conservative management for certain MMD patients.
Concurrent Moyamoya-like Intracranial Steno-Occlusive Disease and Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas.

The simultaneous presentation of intracranial steno-occlusive disease, Moyamoya disease, or Moyamoya-like vasculopathy and dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) has been documented in very few case reports worldwide. We aimed to better characterize this association by reviewing the clinical and radiologic findings of 4 patients with concurrent intracranial steno-occlusive disease or Moyamoya-like vasculopathy and DAVFs evaluated in our institution. All 4 patients were of Asian descent.

Background: Children with moyamoya are at high risk for incident and recurrent stroke. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound is an attractive option to screen high-risk populations for moyamoya and to provide stroke risk stratification information due to its safety and cost-effectiveness. We used TCD to evaluate cerebral blood flow velocities in children with presurgical moyamoya and to determine if velocities differ between children with stable and unstable disease.

Background: Cerebral vasculopathies frequently lead to severe medical conditions such as stroke or intracranial hemorrhage and have a broad range of possible etiologies that require different therapeutic regimens. However, vasculopathies sometimes present with characteristic angiographic findings, that - if recognized - can guide a more specific diagnostic work-up. Certain ACTA2 variants are associated with a distinctive cerebrovascular phenotype characterized by an anomalously straight course of intracranial arteries, dilatation of proximal ICA and stenosis of distal ICA, in the absence of a compensatory basal collateral network found in Moyamoya disease.
