@ladyspinedoc: Case Study 206 – Japanese Brain Mystery Our patient presents with subtle neurological changes…but the real story lies in the vessels you can’t see on first glance. A rare condition, more common in Japan than anywhere else in the world, shifts the brain into survival mode - creating a vascular maze that tells its own story. What do you think is happening here? Full case review drops tomorrow. #SundayCaseStudy #Ladyspinedoc #casestudy206

Florina :

"it's not what you're thinking" what am I thinking? I don't know what I'm thinking

<3 :

could this be linked to the radiation aftermath from the bombs? maybe epigenetic transmission?

Mojojo :

Moyamoya disease, I had a few patients have it

Mary :

My daughter is experiencing every symptom you mentioned. She has already seen two neurologists, and they still haven’t been able to find the cause. She’s only 13, so this has been very concerning for us. I’m definitely interested in learning more about the possible diagnosis.

I hate when ppl do all this teasing and then say "AnsWer toMorRow🤪" like don't pmo

Moyamoya

See_Tracey_Craft :

Moyamoya. I was diagnosed in 2006. Had a unilateral STA-MCA bypass. Checked every year for progression to the other side

your mom :

Moya Moya. My dad was diagnosed with it in 1993 after a catastrophic stroke.

KC :

As soon as you said Japan, neurological condition I guessed Moyamoya because I had a patient diagnosed with this and it was what I did my research paper on that semester.

JenniferLynny :

My mom, grandma, and great aunt have it (we’re Korean). I’m probably next 😅 It’s also 2x more likely to occur in women than in men

Kyla :

I had a patient with moya moya and sickle cell

Omorfoula :

That’s moyamoya.. I might have that, not fully diagnosed yet. I have severe stenosis in my left MCA m1 segment.. I’m 29 years old so if you have any advice Doc, that would be helpful!!

Minavulo :

stlfrgr :

"i want you to look at it", but where is it?

. :

My mom had this. Her doctor even asked her if we had any distant Japanese relatives because in his entire 35 year career, he had never seen a Caucasian patient with it.

Courtney :

I just learned about Moya Moya this week when I was looking up something else. I’m not a doctor 😆 but I knew as soon as you described it.

soulovely0 :

Moyamoya is a Japanese phrase (kinda like an onomatopoeia, but for more than just sounds) that means cloudy/smokey, named for the cloud like appearance on imaging.

palesa 🌸 :

symptoms in keeping with Moyà Moyà- CT brain + angio- imaging shows large vessels that are occluded with many small collaterals formed

Päpsy :

moyamoya- my mom had it! greetings from Finland, it's really rare here too.

Aly :

My mom has unilateral moya moya disease, which I believe is even more rare
