The maya behind moyamoya--the two extremes of the disease.
Two children with moyamoya disease at the extremes of the disease- one with minimal clinical involvement and the other one with profound clinical features are reported with an interesting finding of the collaterals being the reason (maya) behind such varied presentations. To the best of authors' knowledge this is the first Indian report describing the reason behind the varied presentations of moyamoya disease.
