Multiple Progressive Intracranial Arterial Occlusions

Multiple progressive intracranial arterial occlusions ('moyamoya' disease).

Four adult female patients with moyamoya vessels are described. Hypertension and hyperlipidaemia were discovered in three patients. Vessels similar to moyamoya vessels were seen in the orbital and cortical collateral vessels as well as in the basal ganglia region.
