Abstract
Moyamoya disease is a chronic cerebral vascular disease characterized by progressive occlusion of the cerebral arteries and resulting in the development of abnormal collateral circulation. We report a case of moyamoya disease in a 3-year-old Chinese girl with partly reversible white matter lesions. This case indicates that, in pediatric moyamoya disease, white matter lesions may be associated with cerebral ischemia, and they may be reversible after treatment.Entities:
