title: Anaesthetic management in Moya-moya disease.
abstract: A case of Moya-moya disease requiring anaesthesia for both investigation and attempted surgical correction is presented. The influence of the anaesthetic technique on the abnormal cerebral vasculature, with particular reference to induced hypocapnia, is discussed. Guidelines for a safe method of anaesthesia in this group of patients are suggested.
