Patient's question:
I recently had a headache and went to the hospital for a thorough examination, including a cerebral angiography. To my surprise, the doctor said I have moyamoya disease. I've never had any health issues before. Is surgery necessary in the early stages of moyamoya disease?Doctor's answer:
Based on the information you provided, early surgery may not be necessary. Migraine disease, also known as abnormal cerebral vascular plexus at the base of the brain, is a group of cerebrovascular diseases characterized by stenosis or occlusion at the origin of the internal carotid artery and the anterior and middle cerebral arteries, with the appearance of abnormal small vascular networks at the base of the brain. It is recommended that you undergo rehabilitation therapy, and acupuncture and massage can also be helpful. You should exercise more every day, and at the same time, encourage your family members to do so as well.
