Revascularization for Posterior Cerebral Artery Infarction in Decompensated Moyamoya Disease

Cureus. 2019 Sep 17;11(9):e5681. doi: 10.7759/cureus.5681.

Abstract

Moyamoya disease is a rare pathological disorder characterized by progressive intracranial artery stenosis and collateral vessel formation. Posterior cerebral artery involvement is rare with a predilection towards infarction. Herein we present a case of a young female with moyamoya disease treated with bilateral encephalomyosynangiosis which subsequently progressed to posterior cerebral artery involvement, requiring encephalomyosynangiosis to prevent further infarction.

Keywords: angiography; infarction; moyamoya; stenosis.
