Stroke
Strokes are one of the most dangerous symptoms of moyamoya disease. When the blood flow to the brain is restricted, additional blood vessels may form in the brain to help supply more blood to the area. Bleeding or hemorrhaging in the brain may also occur.
When left unaddressed, moyamoya disease typically leads to multiple strokes and possible death of the person. Therefore, early diagnosis of moyamoya disease is critical.3‘Moyamoya Disease Information Page.’ National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/All-Disorders/Moyamoya-Disease-Information-Page
