Abstract:
Objective:To summarize the diagnosis of a flying personnel with moyamoya disease.Methods:The clinical features of an aircrew with moyamoya disease which diagnosed in Air Force Medical Center were summarized and analyzed. Furthermore, the related literatures were reviewed.Results:The patient is a of 41-year-old male navigator. The Navigator usually felt dizzy in the training on the plateau. Also, his anti-anoxia ability was relatively weak. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed the navigator was suffered from the moyamoya disease. Cerebral blood perfusion examination further confirmed moyamoya disease and indicated ipsilateral cerebral blood flow reduction. The conclusion of aviation medicine evaluation was flying qualification, and health level was class B.Conclusions:In most cases, the clinical symptoms of moyamoya disease are usually insignificant, and may not have cerebral infarction. So it’s easy to result in missed diagnosis. Therefore, more attention should be paid on aircrew’s cerebral blood perfusion examination upon his/her clinical symptoms.
