Abstract

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare condition where the supraclinoid part of internal carotid artery is slowly and progressively becoming stenotic, and also it often involves both middle cerebral arteries and anterior cerebral arteries (Fig. 26.1) [1]. The term moyamoya means a puff of smoke in Japanese, and it was first reported by Takeuchi and Shimizu in 1957 with Japanese language [2].
