title: Moyamoya disease--magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiographic features.
abstract: A rare case of moyamoya disease in a 9-year-old female presented with behavioural disturbances and recurrent hemiparetic attacks is reported. Moyamoya disease is an uncommon form of arteritis which affects the cerebrovascular circulation. Magnetic resonance angiography is a non-invasive technique for evaluation of the carotid and vertebrobasilar circulation. The magnetic resonance angiography findings are typical and characteristic of this disease.
