This is my 5 year old niece Mary.Several months ago she was diagnosed with one of the rarest forms of occlusive cerebrovascular disorders encountered in neurosurgery. She was diagnosed with Moyamoya Syndrome (Bilateral Moyamoya grade III/IV Suzuki). Moyamoya syndrome is a disease in which certain arteries in the brain are constricted; blood flow is blocked by the constriction, and also by blood clots. Fragile blood vessels proliferate around a blocked artery in an attempt to bypass an occlusion.
