Patient's question:
Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. What are the symptoms of moyamoya disease?Doctor's answer:
There are many symptoms of moyamoya disease. Some patients have mild symptoms, such as frequent headaches. Regarding vascular examinations, the first non-invasive test is vascular ultrasound. If the ultrasound reveals issues, further testing is required, specifically a CTA (computed tomography angiography) of the blood vessels. This test can identify problems, including the presence of capillaries in addition to the main blood vessels. Severe symptoms may also include hemiplegia and aphasia, as the condition is vascular in nature, leading to these symptoms as well.
