title: Moyamoya syndrome associated with sickle cell trait in a child.
abstract: Moyamoya syndrome is a chronic, progressive occlusion of cerebrovascular arteries that leads to the development of characteristic collateral vessels. It is usually accompanied with sickle cell disease and other hemoglobinopathies. We report a 7-year-old boy, who admitted to our clinic with headache, diagnosed as moyamoya syndrome associated with sickle cell trait. To date, two such cases have been reported in the literature. As far as we know, this patient is the first child reported.
