Abstract

Moya Moya Disease [1,3] is a chronic progressive non atherosclerotic non inflammatory non amyloid occlusive intracranial vasculopathy of unknown cause. Incidence is 1 per 1,00,000 In our case, 15 months baby presented with history of seizures, 3-4 events per month followed by paucity of right sided movements. CT Brain showed large areas of post ictal edema in the left fronto - parietal lobes and gliotic areas in the right parieto – occipital lobes. MR Angiogram with Right Carotid injection showed supraclinoid occlusion with collaterals and Vertebro Basillar injection showed multiple collaterals giving Puff of Smoke [2] appearance which is diagnostic of Moya Moya Disesae. Child was treated surgically by Encephalo Myo Synangiosis [4] (EMS).
