Abstract
- Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a cerebrovascular disorder characterized by bilateral stenosis or occlusion of the terminal portions of the internal carotid arteries. MMD is also accompanied by typical net-like collateral vessels in the basal ganglia. Although the etiology of MMD remains unknown, hereditary, immunogenic, and hemodynamic factors have been implicated as underlying mechanisms of MMD. Here, the authors report on one patient with a rare combination of Graves' disease-associated thyrotoxicosis, myasthenia gravis, and MMD, where cerebrovascular ischemic events occurred during a thyrotoxic state.
