Abstract |
Introduction |
Moya-Moya angiopathy is a neurovascular disease that predisposes to ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes. It is generated by a steno-occlusion of the terminal portion of the internal carotid arteries, which induces the development of abnormal neovessels in the deep regions of the brain. Some pathologies such as sickle cell disease, Down syndrome or Graves’ disease may be associated with Moya-Moya angiopathy. These syndromic forms harbor several differences compared with idiopathic Moya-Moya disease.
Case report |
We report the case of a young patient who presented with a syndromic form of Moya-Moya angiopathy after cranial radiation therapy for an optic glioma associated with type 1 neurofibromatosis treated by combined revascularization. We discuss the particularities of syndromic forms, in their presentation and management based on a review of the literature.
Conclusion |
Many diseases can be associated with Moya-Moya syndrome. Symptomatic patients should undergo surgery, but the risk of postoperative complications appears to be greater than that encountered in patients with non-syndromic Moya-Moya angiopathy.
