Moyamoya syndrome is the secondary form of intracranial arterial occlusive diseases that produces collateral vessels from the base of brain. We report a case of Moyamoya syndrome developing in association with Graves thyrotoxicosis; as a result of its rapid progression and severe global ischemia, it was ultimately fatal. Because of the rarity of this association, we reviewed the literature in an attempt to establish possible demographic and clinical characteristics that may suggest putative mechanisms of pathogenesis.
烟雾病综合征是颅内动脉闭塞性疾病的继发性形式,可从脑底部产生侧支血管。我们报告一例与格雷夫斯甲状腺毒症相关的烟雾病综合征病例;由于其快速进展和严重的全脑缺血,最终导致死亡。鉴于这种关联的罕见性,我们回顾了文献,试图确定可能提示潜在发病机制的人口统计学和临床特征。
