E-021 Pathophysiology, stroke types, collateral formation and aneurysms in moyamoya disease/moya moya syndrome

ConclusionsMMD is presented most commonly with ischemic stroke in the pediatric age group and with hemorrhagic stroke in the adult age group. MMD-associated intracranial aneurysms frequently occur in patients presenting with hemorrhagic unilateral MMD and are associated with an extremely high rate of rupture. Long-standing hemodynamic stress might contribute to the formation of an aneurysm.Disclosures S. Ahmad: None.
