How To Treat Moyamoya Syndrome

Anti Seizure Medication

The first symptom of Moyamoya syndrome is frequently a stroke. Adults usually suffer hemorrhagic strokes because of repeated occurrences of blood clots in the affected area., and children tend to experience recurrent ischemic attacks with immobility or weakness on one side of the body. These types of strokes are commonly referred to as 'mini-strokes,' and may be accompanied by seizures. Children with Moyamoya can suffer epileptic seizures from hyperventilation associated with the disease, in which case anti-seizure medication may be recommended. In cases where medications aren't able to manage the disease, surgery may be necessary for treating children with Moyamoya and absence epilepsy.
