Abstract
Cerebral arteriopathies, including moyamoya (MM) may be part of a systemic arteriopathy. However, patients presenting to neurologists are not routinely evaluated for this. We report the yield of renal angiography in a group of children undergoing catheter cerebral angiography for evaluation of cerebrovascular disease.
Highlights
Cerebral arteriopathies, including moyamoya (MM) may be part of a systemic arteriopathy
Renovascular abnormalities were common in this group of children with cerebrovascular disease and predominantly neurological presentations
Neurologists should be alert to potential systemic involvement and its sequelae in children with cerebral arteriopathy
Summary
Cerebral arteriopathies, including moyamoya (MM) may be part of a systemic arteriopathy. Patients presenting to neurologists are not routinely evaluated for this. We report the yield of renal angiography in a group of children undergoing catheter cerebral angiography for evaluation of cerebrovascular disease
