Gliederung

Text

Objective: Moyamoya disease is a chronic cerebrovascular disorder defined by progressive occlusion of the intracranial vessels. In this report, we present a case of pediatric moyamoya disease involving both hemispheres and treated bilaterally with different surgical technique.

Method: 2-year-old girl patient presented with inability to speech, lack of suction and weakness in the left extremities. Magnetic imaging resonance of the patient revealed bifrontoparietal atrophy and bilateral subacute infarcts in both frontoparietal lobes. MR angiography showed bilateral stenosis of the internal carotid artery in the supraclinoidal segments. Puff of smoke appearnce in both hemispheres was also present. The patient underwent operation with encephalomyosynangiosis in the left hemisphere and multiple burr hole technique for the right hemisphere.

Results: Patient improved in the early postoperative period. She can speek and walk at the 3th month after the operation.

Conclusions: Bilateral moyamoya disease is very rare and can be treated with bilateral revascularization operations in the same session. Particular attention should be paid in pediatric patients in order to obtain best clinical results.
