Parhatsathid is based in Thailand. "Officially" there is no cure for Moyamoya disease. However, one of the characteristics of moyamoya disease is the lipid accumulation in the blood vessels - a clue. The treatment therefore lies in identifying various chemicals which will remove lipid accumulation which will, in turn, further delay the progression of moyamoya disease. Since this is a rare disease and adults have a 10% mortality and children have about 4%, it is therefore considered a deadly disease. "Officially" it is considered a genetic disease, however my guess is that environmental influences are making the disease appear much more apparent. I think that more people will get moyamoya and that the disease is no longer restricted to just Asian countries. My guess it is probably dietary. Well, anyway, here goes the recommendation:

Other characters Moyamoya disease, meaning 'puff of smoke' in Japanese, a term used to describe the appearance of multiple collateral vessels, usually lenticulostriate and thalamostriate vessels, seen on cerebral angiography in patients with a vasculopathy characterised by progressive stenosis of the distal internal carotid arteries and the major intracranial arteries. The posterior circulation is less commonly involved. Though the condition is seen in adults 50% of reported cases of moya-moya syndrome occur in patients under 10 years, with 70% under 20% years. Patients usually present with transient ischaemic attacks, headache or seizures. Familial cases of the condition have been reported in Japan. The condition may also be seen in patients with phakomatosis, such as neurofibromatosis type 1 and tuberous sclerosis Downs syndrome , following radiation therapy, polyarteritis nodosa and Takayasus arteritis , and sickle cell diseases . When no cause is found the condition is known as moya-moya disease. The definitive diagnosis is made on cerebral angiography where stenoses in the distal internal carotid and intracranial circulation are seen in association with multiple small collateral vessels in the region of the thalamostriate and lenticulostriate arteries. MRI may make the diagnosis though the number of collaterals and the extent of disease may be underestimated. Areas of focal infarction both acute, subacute and chronic, may be evident on both CT and MRI. After intravenous contrast administration intense enhancement may be seen in the deep grey nuclei either from infarction or enhancement of the collateral vessels. Enlargement of the perivascular spaces (VirchowRobin) spaces with enhancement of the collateral vessels within them may also be seen on MRI. Prognosis is variable and may be worse if there is a pre-existing condition. The idiopathic form may not progress. The creation of external carotid to internal carotid anastamoses has been used to bypass the strictured areas.

Other characters Moyamoya disease, a progressive occlusive disease of the basal cerebral vessels forming the circle of Willis, of unknown aetiology. The clinical presentation is characterized by repeated ischaemic episodes in children and adolescents; the severity of the neurological deficits depends on the rapidity of progression, and the extent of the disease. Progressive occlusion of the distal portion of the internal carotid arteries and of the proximal segments of the middle cerebral arteries is the angiographic hallmark of the disease together with a peculiar collateral circulation that involves meningeal vessels with transdural anastomosis and penetrating vessels of the basal ganglia. Hypertrophy of lenticulostriate arteries and thalamoperforating arteries leads to the characteristic appearance first described in the Japanese literature as the "puff of smoke" or Moyamoya. Although MR can show the infarcted areas of the brain the diagnostic modality of choice is cerebral angiography ( Fig.1

33. Moyamoya Disease Background. moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare disorder of the blood vessels of the brain. GREECE, Familial moyamoya disease in a Greek family. http://www.thedoctorsdoctor.com/diseases/moyamoya_disease.htm

Background Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare disorder of the blood vessels of the brain. It is characterized by a progressive occlusive disease of the cerebral vasculature with particular involvement of the circle of Willis and the feeding arteries. The name Moyamoya is Japanese for "puff of smoke". This distinctive name describes the angiographic appearance of the abnormal vascular collateral networks that develop adjacent to the stenotic vessels. The changes may affect the major blood vessels of the brain including the anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral arteries. The symptoms and clinical course vary widely and depend upon the location and severity of the hemorrhage or damage. Thus signs and symptoms may range from asymptomatic to transient events to severe neurologic deficits. ADULTS CHILDREN Hemorrhage (intraventricular, subarachnoid, or intracerebral hemorrhage) more common Cerebral ischemic events more common Hemiparesis, monoparesis, sensory impairment, involuntary movements, headaches, dizziness, or seizures Mental retardation or persistent neurologic deficits The exact etiology of MMD is unknown but several familial cases have been reported. Several other diseases have been associated with the disease.

Moyamoya disease Moyamoya disease may present with stroke in children and young adults. The cause of the disease is unknown. It was first described in 1963; early reports were predominantly in Japanese patients although later reports include non-Japanese. It arises in the presence of bilateral occlusion of the carotid arteries resulting in the development of an extensive fine network of collateral arteries and arterioles at the base of the brain - collaterals resemble a puff of smoke. Children typically present with sudden ischaemic strokes whilst young adults more commonly present with a sub-arachnoid haemorrhage. There is no specific treatment but surgical revascularisation may be tried. Click here for more information...

VASCULAR DISEASE S ANEURYSMS Anterior communicating artery aneurysm Aneurysms are rare paediatric lesions that can affect blood vessels throughout the body. They represent a "blistering" or "bubble-like" protrusion off of an artery. In the brain these "bubbles" tend to occur at very predictable locations. Usually they are at points where a major artery is branching into smaller arteries. These sights are not in the brain substance per se, but rather in the deep crevices between the various lobes of the brain. Most aneurysms that are found are in older individuals, in the 4th and 5th decades of life, but on rare occasions they can be found in paediatrics. Some causes of aneurysms are hereditary, but most are found in the general population without any specific cause. Most aneurysms are found due to a sudden burst of blood into or around the brain because of a temporary rupture of the "bubble". This "bubble " will usually then seal itself off spontaneously. Usually some if not all of the blood will be found in and around these crevices in the brain, what are called the subarachnoid spaces. Hence the bleeding that occurs with ruptured aneurysms tends to be
