Abstract EN
Background.
We present a rare case of bilateral moyamoya disease presenting as multiple strokes and neurological deficits, treated with the neurosurgical procedure, encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis (EDAS), in a 2-year-old male Pakistani minor.
A positive outcome was achieved and the patient recovered fully.
Case Summary.
Our patient presented with a history of seizures and multiple episodes of hemiparesis (on and off weakness) at the age of 2 years.
He had a delayed speech development and could not speak more than a few words.
He had a slight slurring of speech too.
He was diagnosed with bilateral moyamoya disease on Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA).
Bilateral EDAS was done in the same year, after which his symptoms improved and patient had moderate functional recovery.
Conclusion.
A rare disease, moyamoya has been left unexplored in Pakistan; physicians and surgeons when dealing with cases in the pediatric population presenting with symptoms of stroke, signs of generalized weakness, and seizures should consider moyamoya disease as a possibility.
Furthermore, this case demonstrates the effectiveness of EDAS procedure for the treatment of moyamoya disease.
