Core Tip
Core Tip: Stroke in children is a significant cause of long-lasting morbidity. The advances in neuroimaging and laboratory investigations serve an important role in proper evaluation of stroke in children and identification of its potential etiologies, risk factors and outcomes. Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare progressive non-inflammatory steno-occlusive arteriopathy of the large cerebral blood vessels. It is a rare cause of ischemic stroke and recurrent transient attacks in children. The disease is very under-recognized in different areas of the world except East Asia, predominantly Japan. MMD can be sporadic or familial. The Japanese term “moyamoya” refers to the puff of smoke morphology of the dilated basal collateral vessels within the brain tissue seen on cerebral angiography. Compared to other arteriopathies, MMD is unique as its treatment solely relies on surgical revascularization. Therefore, increasing reporting and evaluation of cases with MMD from different ethnicities may help in better understanding of its causes and proper management.
