title: Clinical and angiographic findings in Moya Moya.
abstract: METHODS
  Female, 40 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Moya-Moya Disease Symptoms: Blurred vision • headache • lethargy
  
  
  METHODS
  - Clinical Procedure: - Specialty: Neurology.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  Rare disease.
  
  
  BACKGROUND
  Moya Moya is a cerebrovasculopathy of the terminal internal carotid arteries and the proximal anterior and middle cerebral arteries. It is comparatively more common in Japan compared to Western countries.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present a patient of South-East Asian origin diagnosed with Moya Moya, confirmed on magnetic resonance angiography and later computerized tomography angiography. She was managed conservatively through medical management and lifestyle advice, and has now been enlisted into the national Moya Moya database in the UK.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We believe this report will help advance our understanding on Moya Moya and help to elucidate the importance of a combined medical and radiological approach to this condition.
