Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare, progressive cerebrovascular disorder characterized by the bilateral stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and its proximal vessels, leading to the formation of compensatory smoke-like collateral vessels. This report describes the case of a 33-year-old Philippine woman who presented with acute right-sided hemiparesis and had a history of recurrent transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) with similar symptoms. Neuroimaging revealed intracranial hemorrhage and characteristic bilateral occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), and anterior cerebral artery (ACA) with collateral vessel formation, indicative of moyamoya disease. The patient was referred for surgical revascularization.

Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is the gold standard for assessing cerebrovascular hemodynamics. DSA is predominantly utilized to evaluate the hemodynamic information of various cerebral diseases. However, DSA is relatively invasive and involves radiation exposure and risks of allergic reactions or renal dysfunction related to iodine-based contrast agents.

Background: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is increasingly recognized as being influenced by chronic inflammation, with circulating immune cells playing a role in its progression. However, research on the immune characteristics of different MMD subtypes is limited. This study aims to compare the peripheral immune profiles of ischemic and hemorrhagic MMD patients.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes, and recurrence risks in moyamoya disease (MMD) patients, focusing on the impact of revascularization and antiplatelet therapy.
Materials And Methods: Forty-six MMD patients were analyzed. Data on demographics, clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes, and recurrence rates of ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes were collected.
