Renal artery stenosis in moyamoya syndrome.
Extracranial manifestations of vascular occlusive disease, such as renovascular hypertension, are rare in moyamoya syndrome. Histopathological examination suggests a common denominator. Surgical or endoluminal correction of these lesions is feasible. Moyamoya syndrome is not considered to be a contraindication for organ donation for transplantation.
