Inhibited Cognitive Development
Since moyamoya disease is typically seen in children rather than adults, a child's brain development may be severely Impacted, leading to neurological issues. This may manifest in a number of ways.
Children with the disease may suffer a reduced speech capacity, muscle tremors and other forms of cognitive impairment, so it's imperative to address the disease in children as soon as possible. However, this may be difficult, as stroke is typically the first symptom in children.8McNamara, Lindsay. ‘Moyamoya Disease.’ Johns Hopkins Pediatric Neurovascular Center, 5 Oct. 2015, www.hopkinsmedicine.org/neurology/neurosurgery/centers/clinics/pediatric/neurovascular/conditions/moyamoya/disease.html
