Enfermedad de Moyamoya y embarazo gemelar. Presentación de un caso y revisión de literatura

Abstract

Moyamoya disease is a progressive cerebral occlusive vasculopathy characterized by stenosis or occlusion of the\nsupraclinoid portion of the internal carotid artery, mainly the middle cerebral artery and anterior cerebral artery. The\nangiographic appearance resembles "cigarette's smoke" which means in Japanese "moyamoya". We report the case of a 28\nyears old female who presented headache and focal seizures since 5 years old and a high-risk twin pregnancy at 16 years\nold, that required cesarean section; panangiography reveals a similar picture of "cigarette's smoke" consistent with\nMoyamoya disease.
