Abstract
Moyamoya is a rare condition that affects the blood vessels of the brain in children and young adults. It can cause both ischaemic stroke and cerebral haemorrhage. Although established diagnostic criteria and examinations exist, limited knowledge of the condition often leads to a mistaken or delayed diagnosis. Treatment consists of antiplatelet drugs and surgical revascularisation. Prognosis after successful surgery is good, but the disease requires a dedicated medical team.
