Non-moyamoya bilateral middle cerebral artery agenesis mimicking multiple sclerosis.

چکیده
We present a case of a 41-year-old woman who carried the misdiagnosis of multiple sclerosis for 13 years while on disease modifying therapy [DMT]. Her neurologic work-up showed an extremely rare type of bilateral middle cerebral arteryocclusive disease, a basilar apex aneurysm and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. A thorough search for alternative neurologic diagnosis is recommended before patients are given a definitive diagnosis and committed to DMT.

متن کاملConcurrent Stenoocclusive Disease of Intracranial and Extracranial Arteries in a Patient with Polycythemia Vera
Moyamoya disease is a stenoocclusive disease involving the intracranial carotid and proximal middle cerebral arteries. There are rarely any additional extracranial stenoses occurring concurrently with moyamoya. The pathophysiology of moyamoya remains obscure, but hematologic disorders, notably sickle-cell anemia, have been associated in some cases. We describe the novel case of polycythemia ver...
