  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We reported 6 cases with angiographic abnormal vascular net-work in the basal region of the brain, and inferred that this disease might be found only in Japanese, at the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Japan Neurosurgical Society held in 1963. We also reported in details 10 cases with this disease in NO-to-Shinkei (Brain & Nerve), vol. 10, No. 8, 1965, and said that the disease is not a congenital malformation, but is a acquired disease in which at first stenosis or occlusion occurred in the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery due to some causes, and such abnormal vascular net-work has secondarily developed as collateral path-ways.

Seventeen cases of this disease were experienced at our clinic as to May, 1966, and among them 3 cases of the abult and 4 cases of the young were followed up angiographically for 8 months to 3 years and a half. In 3 cases of the adult there were seen no marked changes, however, on the other hand, in 4 cases of the young there were found noticeable chan-ges. From this fact we think that the adult cases may belong to quite another entity of diseases or these cases may represent the some phase at which the progress of disease has ceased, but can not tell which is correct at the present time.

The facts above described seem to be a proof of our thought which has been expressed from the very beginning of the discussion about this disease. We think the abnormal vascular net-work is not a congenital malformation, but is a vascular net-work formed secondarily as collateral path-ways due to stenosis or occlusion of the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery.

The net-works would develop on the both sides at last, although in appearing of the net-works there might be a chronological difference between the right and the left.

We have classified angiographically the develop-mental process of the abnormal vascular net-work into six phasis.

Here we would like to propose to give this peculiar abnormal vascular net-work a Japanese nomination, "Moya-moya", because the disease has been found only among Japanese. "Moya-moya" means in Japa-nese a state of clouds in the sky which have obscure shape, or smoke which comes out of the mouth on smoking especially by a deep expiration. Not only the vascular net-work simulates the smoke in shape, but also both have a similarity in the developmental pro-cess in which both appear thick at first, becoming thin gradually, and disappear at last. From the reason above given we call this disease cerbro-vascular "Mo-ya-moya".

1st phase : Stenosis of the bifurcation of int. carotid artery.

2nd phase : First appearance of "Moya-moya"(Dil-atation of the intracerebral arteries).

3rd phase : Increasing of "Moya-moya"(Dis-appearing process of middle and ant. cerebral arteries).

4th phase: Finer formation of "Moya-moya"(Dis-appearing process of posterior cerebral artery).

5th phase : Shrinking of "Moya-moya"(Dis-appearance of the intracerebral. arteries).

6th phase: Disappearance of "Moya-moya"(Pre-servation of cerebral circulation only through ext. carotid artery).
