Abstract:
A persistent non-inflammatory, non-atherosclerotic occlusive vasculopathy in is known as Moya Moya angiopathy (MM). It is typified by progressive occlusion or stenosis at the apices of the intracranial the internal carotid artery (ICA), which include the middle and proximity anterior cerebral arteries. This can result in hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke, which has a high risk of mortality as well as morbidity [1]. Imaging is essential to diagnosis, treatment planning, and post-treatment. Arteriography is used to confirm the diagnosis. It demonstrates the pathognomonic growth and dilatation of the lenticulostriate arteries, which is characterized by stenosis in the ICA branches and resembles a puff of smoke. The three angiographic criteria for a diagnosis of moyamoya are as follows: (1) bilateral observations of vascular alterations; (2) stenosis of the distal ICAs together with portions of proximal ACA and MCA; and (3) dilated baseline collateral arteries. [2]. There aren't many options for treatment right now, but surgical revascularization might stop ischemic episodes and maintain quality of life. The rarity of this pathology has led us to present three examples of Moya-Moya disease in young people in this review.
