“Moyamoya” is Japanese for “puff of smoke,” describing the tangle of tiny blood vessels that characterize this complex, progressive disease. The arteries at the base of the brain become blocked and tiny blood vessels grow in a wispy, tangled mass in an attempt to compensate.
This disease usually affects children but can present in adults as a stroke or hemorrhage. If left untreated, moyamoya disease can cause multiple strokes that lead to neurological decline and severe brain damage.
