Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2019, Vol 117, Issue 6
Abstract
We report a case of 5-year-old female child who was admitted at our hospital with complaints of quadriparesis with aphasia. On MR angiography, the child was diagnosed to have Moyamoya disease. It has slow progression but in our case the clinical progression from asymptomatic to quadriparesis along with cognitive decline and aphasia was rapid over period of 6 months. The patient was treated conservatively and referred to a higher centre for specific neurosurgical intervention.
