Stroke in a Young Patient Due to Moyamoya Disease.

Moyamoya is an uncommon, chronic vasocclusive disease of brain which affects the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery. Moyamoya disease is a disease of young with peak incidence of around 10-40 years. It can present as a transient ischemic attack (TIA), stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage in the pediatric or young adults. Treatment usually includes medical therapy or surgery. Surgical treatment generally involves use of external carotid system for blood supply which are spared in this disease process. We present a case of a young male patient with stroke from Moyamoya disease, who underwent successful EDAS (encephaloduroateriosynangiosis) procedure with complete resolution of his stroke symptoms.
