What Is Moyamoya Disease?
3. Transient Ischemic Attack
As mentioned, moyamoya disease can result in a transient ischemic attack, which is also known as a mini stroke. This happens when the flow of blood to the blood is impeded to the point where the brain does not get the volume of blood it needs. A Transient ischemic attack is usually the first symptom of moyamoya disease to show.
This symptom will often be recurring, and the symptoms are very similar to that of a standard stroke. The damage is not usually permanent, though, with the patient usually making a full recovery. However, the condition is a clear sign that the patient is at a high risk of experiencing a full-blown stroke.
