Moyamoya Disease
Specialized Neurology Care for Moyamoya Disease
At Universal Hospital, we understand the challenges and complexities associated with Moyamoya Disease. Our dedicated team of medical experts is committed to providing comprehensive and personalized care to patients dealing with this rare cerebrovascular condition.
What is Moyamoya Disease?
Moyamoya Disease is a rare and progressive cerebrovascular disorder characterized by the narrowing or blockage of the arteries at the base of the brain. The condition results in reduced blood flow to the brain, leading to the development of fragile collateral blood vessels that resemble a “puff of smoke” in angiographic images.
Signs and Symptoms
- Headaches: Persistent and severe headaches are a common symptom.
- Weakness or Paralysis: Individuals may experience weakness or paralysis, often on one side of the body.
- Speech Difficulties: Moyamoya can impact speech and language abilities.
- Seizures: Some patients may develop seizures.
- Vision Changes: Blurred or lost vision may occur.
Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management. Moyamoya Disease is typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history review, neurological examination, and advanced imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and cerebral angiography.
Treatment Options
- Medical Management: Medications may be prescribed to manage symptoms and reduce the risk of complications.
- Revascularization Surgery: Surgical procedures aim to improve blood flow by creating new blood vessels. Direct and indirect bypass surgeries are common interventions.
- Supportive Care: Rehabilitation and support services play a vital role in helping patients manage the effects of Moyamoya Disease and improve their quality of life.
Living with Moyamoya
A Moyamoya diagnosis can be overwhelming, but with the right information and support, individuals can lead fulfilling lives. Our multidisciplinary team is here to provide not only medical care but also emotional and educational support for patients and their families.
