Abstract
Background A few cases of moyamoya syndrome associated with thyrotoxicosis have been reported. However, studies on the association of hyperthyroidism with moyamoya syndrome are insufficient. Case Report Here we report a case of hyperthyroidism associated with moyamoya syndrome in a 41-year-old woman with aphasia and right side weakness. Brain imaging revealed acute cerebral infarction of left middle cerebral artery territory and occlusion of bilateral distal internal carotid arteries. Conclusion Antithyroid medication stabilized the patientâs neurologic deterioration, suggesting that thyrotoxicosis could aggravate acute cerebral infarction caused by moyamoya syndrome. Key Words: Moyamoya disease; Thyrotoxicosis; Cerebral infarction
