Abstract EN
Moyamoya disease is a rare chronic and progressive cerebrovascular disease of the arteries of the circle of Willis that can affect children and adults.
It has been associated with multiple diseases, including immunologic, like Graves’ disease, diabetes mellitus, and SLE.
Hyperlipidemia has been recognized in patients with Moyamoya disease with an incidence of 27–37%.
However, no case in pediatric patients has been reported of the coexistence of Moyamoya disease and hyperlipidemia.
Here we present a case of a 9-year-old female diagnosed with Moyamoya disease after a stroke with incidental finding of familial hypercholesterolemia.
This finding will make our patient a very unique case, since there has not been any reporting of Moyamoya disease and hypercholesterolemia association.
