Abstract:
The cause of Moyamoya disease remains unknown, and theories of inflammatory and immunologic pathophysiological mechanisms remain unproven. Moyamoya disease characterized by angiographic findings of intracranial carotid artery stenosis and occlusion, resulting in brain hemorrhage. We experienced that a 32-year-old female patient whose complaint was a suddenly developed occipital headache, decreased vision and visual field defect, and performed transfemoral 4-vessel angiography and magnetic resonance image (MRI). It was defined as Moyamoya disease. So we report a case of Moyamoya disease with right homonymous hemianopsia.
