Priti Dave, Kavita Krishna, Abhijit Dasgupta, Rahul Shewale

Abstract :

Moyamoya disease is a chronic cereal vasculopathy causing progressive occlusion of the arteries in the circle of Willis leading to the development of characteristic collateral vessels. It is common in Japan but an extremely rare entity in India. We report here a 21 year old female with a past history of left hemiparesis and bilateral visual loss at the age of 5 yrs, a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) at 15 years age and multiple episodes of seizures since 3 years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ain and angiography was suggestive of Moya moya disease .
