Abstract :

Moya moya disease (MMD) is a rare progressive vaso–occlusive disorder that involves the internal carotid arteries and their anches. MMD can present as both ischemic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage, and pregnancy may increase the risk of these adverse events. We present the case of a 30 year old woman with Moyamoya disease who presented as post partum cereal venous thrombosis. It is suggested that clinical suspicion for Moyamoya disease should be high for any stroke in pregnancy.
