What medication should be taken for moyamoya disease?

Patient's question:

My mother-in-law suddenly fainted a while ago for some unknown reason, and then she was taken to the hospital. The doctor examined her carefully and finally diagnosed her with moyamoya disease. I've never heard of this condition before. She is currently in intensive care. Hello, what kind of medication is used for moyamoya disease? How is it treated?

Doctor's answer:

Moyamoya disease is a congenital vascular developmental disorder. The growth and development of blood vessels are similar to those of moyamoya disease, so drugs have no fundamental effect on it. However, moyamoya disease does have some symptoms, and certain drugs are used during the acute phase. If there is indeed an obstruction, it is treated as a stroke. Some drugs that stabilize blood circulation should be administered. During the acute phase, certain methods and classic drugs are used. After discharge, some aspirin and antiplatelet drugs will still be used. During the recovery phase, if there is still limb paralysis, some rehabilitation treatments will be conducted.
