Sure, I'd be happy to help with that.

Moyamoya Syndrome is a neurological condition characterized by the narrowing or constriction of the basal arteries, which are located at the base of the brain. This constriction is often seen at the origin of the smaller branches of the internal carotid artery (Moyamoya vessels). As a result, there is a reduction in blood flow to the brain, which can cause recurrent strokes, transient ischemic attacks, and in some cases, cognitive or memory deficits. It usually affects adults in their 30s to 60s and is often associated with other conditions like atherosclerosis, fibrous dysplasia, lymphangioma, and collagen disorders. Despite this condition being rarely seen, it's imperative to confirm early, as proper treatment can prevent severe complications.

Moyamoya Syndrome

Moyamoya Syndrome is a rare, progressive cerebrovascular disorder caused by blocked arteries at the base of the brain in an area called the basal ganglia. The name "moyamoya" means "puff of smoke" in Japanese and describes the look of the tangle of tiny vessels formed to compensate for the blockage. Over time, these vessels can become less effective, leading to decreased blood flow to the brain, which can cause transient ischemic attacks (mini-strokes), strokes, bleeding in the brain, or cognitive decline. Symptoms of Moyamoya Syndrome can include headaches, seizures, cognitive difficulties, and physical weakness or paralysis, typically on one side of the body. The condition can occur at any age but is most commonly diagnosed in children and adults in their 30s and 40s.
