| Ամփոփում: | Moyamoya disease is an idiopathic progressive vasculopathy characterized by slowly progressive narrowing involving the distal internal carotid artery and the proximal circle of Willis.

This review discusses the clinical manifestation, imaging findings, and angiographic features. © Springer Medizin Verlag 2005. |
