ABSTRACT
Moyamoya disease is characterized by progressive stenosis of internal carotid artery and shows unique angioraphic findings. Its etiology is still unknown, and theories of immunophysiologic and inflammatory mechanisms remain unproven. These patients show various neurologic symptons by cerebral ischemia, infarction and gemorrhage. and they also show various ophthalmologic symptoms. We experienced that a 21-year-old female who was diagnosed to have moyamoya disease presented with a suddenly developed occipital headache and neurologic deficit. The etiology of her characteristic fundus findings was thought to be retinal vascular insufficiency.
