Moyamoya disease (MMD) is an unusual vasculopathy in which the blood vessels of the brain are occluded, resulting in thrombosis. When MMD occurs in association with an underlying pathology, it is known as moyamoya syndrome. The association of moyamoya syndrome with sickle cell disease is uncommon. Herein, we report a case of moyamoya syndrome in a 32-year-old male adult patient.
Keywords: moyamoya disease; moyamoya syndrome; sickle cell disease; vasculopathy.
