Moya-Moya disease (MMD) is a rare cerebral vasculopathy affecting children and adults. It is a progressive steno-occlusive arterial disease generally discovered during the etiological assessment of an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. Its diagnosis is based essentially on imaging. Cerebral digital subtraction angiography (DSA) remains the gold standard. We report the case of a 42-year-old male patient admitted for the loss of consciousness with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of 12/15. A brain CT scan revealed a right capsulo-lenticular hematoma with ventricular flooding and hydrocephalus. Cerebral CT angiography showed features of Moya-Moya vasculopathy, which was confirmed by a cerebral catheter angiogram.

Revascularization surgery for moyamoya disease poses risks of complications, requiring appropriate management. Although precise prediction is difficult, the systemic immune-inflammation index is a calculable marker that reflects systemic inflammatory conditions. We aimed to investigate the association between postoperative complications and the systemic immune-inflammation index.
