Abstract

The usual manifestations of Moyamoya disease are bilateral carotid narrowing or occlusion at the carotid fork and abundant basal.vascular network with various carotid neurovascular symptoms. We report two unusual cases showing visual symptoms(bilateral cortical blindness, right homonymous hemianopsia, respectively) and angiographically vertebrobasilar and complete proximal internal carotid occlusion, with extensive parenchymal and transdural anastomosis in Moyamoya disease.
