**9. Conclusion**

Moyamoya disease is a chronic progressive vasculopathy seen in children and adults, characterized by occlusion/stenosis at the terminal portions of the internal carotid artery and abnormal collateral network formation at the base of the brain. It is predominantly seen in Asian countries. It may be idiopathic [moyamoya disease] or associated with other disorders when it is called moyamoya syndrome. Various angiographic and magnetic resonance angiographic findings have been described which form the basis of the diagnostic guidelines for MMD. It may present as an ischemic/hemorrhagic stroke. It is generally managed with direct/indirect revascularization surgical techniques that aim to restore the cerebral blood flow and prevent strokes that restore the cerebral blood flow and prevent strokes' recurrence.
