  • Look Inside

The spontaneous occlusion of the circle of Willis ("Moyamoya" disease) is defined as the appear-ance of small fine vessels in the region of the basal ganglia as the results of stenosis and/or occlusion of the circle of Willis. The cause of these changes in the circle of Willis have been proposed to be due to an infectious change or an auto-immune reaction, but the true pathogenesis of the changes has been still unknown."Moyamoya"vessels are believed to be the collateral routes formed as the results of the changes of the circle of Willis.

Until now about 2,000 patients have been registered in the reserach committee and about one hundred patients appear every year in Japan. Females suffer from more often and over 60% of patients are infants of under 10 years old. They are often attacked with ischemic symptoms and adults with the intracerebral hemorrhage. In over 20% of the patients intelligence lowers, but most patients improve gradually after the attacks.
