RESUMO
A 31-year-old female with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) presented with left hemiparesis. One year prior to this presentation she had been diagnosed with bihemispheric cerebral infarctions associated with moyamoya syndrome. During her current presentation, MRI revealed acute infarction of the right hemisphere and MRA revealed occlusion of the right internal carotid artery (ICA), and aggravation of the preexisting stenosis of the contralateral ICA and ipsilateral posterior cerebral artery compared to the previous MRA. We report herein a case of progressive moyamoya syndrome associated with PNH.

It is believed that migrainous aura is correlated with cortical spreading depression and spreading benign oligemia. A 54-year-old female with migraine with aura presented with left hemianopia preceding pulsating headache. Perfusion-weighted images revealed delayed contrast arrival to the right occipital lobe and nearly normal relative cerebral blood volume images, indicating benign oligemia. Follow-up perfusion-weighted images revealed resolution of the perfusion abnormalities. We report herein a case of migraine with aura presenting with reversible delayed perfusion in the right occipital lobe on perfusion-weighted images.
