What is Moyamoya Disease of the Brain?

1. Moyamoya disease mainly manifests with ischemia or hemorrhage as its primary clinical symptoms. Patients may repeatedly experience severe headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, accompanied by a strong sense of vertigo. Moyamoya disease is a special cerebrovascular disease characterized by the appearance of abnormal vascular networks at the base of the skull, and also manifests as progressive narrowing of the distal ends of the anterior cerebral artery and middle cerebral artery in the patient's brain.

2. Currently, there is no definitive conclusion on the specific causes of Moyamoya disease. Most scholars believe that its development is closely related to genetic and acquired factors. Clinically, the treatment of Moyamoya disease mainly involves vascular reconstruction. Some patients also exhibit epilepsy as the primary clinical manifestation. The spontaneous remission of Moyamoya disease not only fails to achieve therapeutic effects but also causes very serious secondary harm to the patient's body and delays the condition. Generally, early or mid-stage Moyamoya disease can be mainly treated through intracranial and extracranial surgery, and the intracranial carotid artery blood vessels of the patient will become full after surgery. After being diagnosed with Moyamoya disease, patients must seek timely treatment from a formal neurosurgical department and should not seek treatment at small clinics for the sake of saving money. Whether Moyamoya disease can be cured is closely related to the severity of the disease, its stage, active treatment, and treatment methods.
