Abstract
Moyamoya disease is also termed a spontaneous obstruction of the arteries in the circle of Willis. It is recognized as the leading cause of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. The infrequent cause of stroke is radiologically characterized by the continuous progression of stenosis of the end portion of the bilateral internal carotid artery and compensatory capillaries collaterals. A 1yr old child was admitted to the pediatric I.C.U with a complaint of decreased sensorium, decreased food intake and decreased right upper and lower extremity movements past two days. He had a history of convulsions at seven months of age. He was diagnosed with Moyamoya disease on Magnetic Resonance cerebral angiography. The clinical findings on MR-Angiography show multiple collaterals noted around Circle of Willis, specifically around the posterior communicating artery, anterior communicating artery, posterior cerebral artery, bilateral lenticulostriate, thalamoperforating arteries and medialfrontobasal arteries, which is suggestive of Moyamoya disease. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain shows Gyral diffusion restriction in a right fronto-parieto-temporal region with mild swelling. The above clinical findings on MR-angiography show the Moyamoya disease in 1year old male child. These clinical findings on MR-Angiography and M.R.I – brain and neck can help the clinician accurately diagnose and manage this rare case.
