This case report describes a newly diagnosed patient with moyamoya, who was referred to a paediatric clinic because of headache and involuntary movements and sounds. Due to the rare occurrence of moyamoya, the purpose of this case report is to draw attention to its diagnosis with a view to achieving an early diagnosis of the disease.
