Multimodality Imaging of Moyamoya Disease: A Practical Guide for Neuroradiologists Based on a Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Background and Clinical Significance: Moyamoya disease is a rare, progressive cerebrovascular disease characterized by steno-occlusion of the terminal internal carotid arteries and the arteries around the circle of Willis, with the formation of abnormal collateral vessels. Early clinical manifestations include recurrent hemodynamic transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), especially in young subjects. Multimodality imaging, including computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and digital subtraction angiography, is necessary to reach a correct diagnosis in young patients with stroke-like symptoms. Various radiological findings are crucial for early diagnosis, staging, and management of moyamoya disease. Case Presentation: We describe the case of a 31-year-old male presenting with acu
