Abstract
A 13 year old boy presented with recurrent TIAs and was found to have high blood pressure. On investigations he was detected to be Moyamoya disease. Hypertension is known to be associated with Moyamoya disease; the cause being renal artery stenosis. Our patient had normal renal arteries on imaging. We report this case for its rarity.
