Moyamoya disease is a rare, progressive brain disorder where the main carotid arteries in the base of your brain narrow over time leading to reduced blood supply to the brain and blockage. Eventually, it may cause internal bleeding, haemorrhage stroke, seizures, and transient ischemic stroke.
This disease has no cure, but the symptoms can be managed with proper medication to prevent blood clots, and surgical bypass if required.
Two carotid arteries are located on both sides of your neck and they supply oxygen-rich blood to your brain from the heart.
Moyamoya Disease is a chronic cerebrovascular condition in which the carotid blood vessels become narrow and blocked over the years.
To compensate for the reduced blood flow to the brain, small weak blood vessels are formed which appear like “puffs of smoke” on a cerebral angiogram, also known as “moyamoya” in Japanese. These new blood vessels are fragile and eventually cannot supply enough blood to the brain, leading to moyamoya disease symptoms like seizures, stroke, internal bleeding, etc.
Most commonly, moyamoya disease affects children in East Asian countries like Japan, China, and Korea due to genetic factors and is rarely seen in other countries. However, it may also occur in adults. It significantly affects your cognitive function, leading to developmental issues or even disability.
Moyamoya Syndrome is when the cause of changes in blood arteries in the brain are due to known genetic syndromes or pre-existing conditions. These include Sickle Cell disease, Sneddon’s syndrome, Down syndrome, Graves’ disease, Fibromuscular dysplasia, Atherosclerosis, and more.
Children and adults with Moyamoya disease may experience the following symptoms, commonly triggered after exercise, strenuous activities, crying, coughing, or a fever:
Since it is a progressive disorder, moyamoya disease symptoms may worsen over time without proper medication and care.
The main cause of Moyamoya disease is unknown. It could be inherited, due to genetic reasons, or simply occur randomly.
Research has revealed that changes or mutations in the RNF213 gene could be one of the reasons moyamoya disease occurs. This gene is responsible for producing a protein that helps develop blood vessels.
Some children or middle-aged adults may get this condition due to other medical conditions such as:
If the cause of the disease is linked to other genetic or acquired conditions, it is termed as Moyamoya Syndrome.
Moyamoya is a chronic disease that can be fatal or cause serious brain damage if not treated on time. Hence, diagnosing the disease as early as possible and starting medication to control the symptoms is important. Your doctor may check your medical history, conduct a physical examination, and recommend some tests.
Moyamoya can be diagnosed through the following imaging tests:

Moyamoya is a rare condition that affects nearly one person in one million people in the US, generally children at the average age of 7. However, adults may get it too in their 30s or 40s.
Moyamoya is more common in Asian countries like Japan, China, and Korea. Girls are twice as likely to get it than boys.
Bilateral moyamoya disease is more common where both sides of the brain are affected. Whereas, the disease on one side of the brain is called Unilateral Moyamoya disease and it is extremely rare.
Most complications from Moyamoya disease occur due to ischemic attacks or haemorrhagic strokes such as vision problems, paralysis, seizures, loss of speech, cognitive delays, involuntary jerks, etc.
Without medication and surgery, most patients may have multiple strokes and cognitive decline due to progressive blockage of blood vessels.
