Diagnosis of Moyamoya disease involves four components:
Detailed neurological and genetic evaluation to differentiate primary from secondary forms of Moyamoya.
Brain imaging: in the acute setting, special stroke protocol imaging studies are necessary to look for evidence of stroke or ischemic brain injury.
Vascular or Vessel Imaging: a range of modalities for vessel-specific imaging are used, including CT and MR angiography, and the “gold standard”, cerebral angiography.
Perfusion Studies: special neuroimaging modalities are often necessary to assess and quantify the degree of hypoperfusion (lack of blood supply) of the brain. This includes state of the art equipment such as CT or MR perfusion scans, Diamox SPECT scans, and PET scans.
