| Sumario: |
Moyamoya syndrome is a rare occlusive condition that involves cerebral vessels. Is predominantly of Japanese population, where initially thought was unique, but today it has been reported worldwide and in different ethnic groups. It consists of chronic and progressive occlusion of the anterior cerebral circulation with the consequent appearance of collateral vessels giving a pattern similar to arteriography imagiologic in a “puff of smoke”, hence the Japanese name moyamoya. This article reports the case of a black female pediatric patient with history of sickle cell anemia with representative images. |
