Moyamoya disease is a cerebrovascular disease characterized by stenosis of large intracranial arteries and the development of smaller collateral vessels. Moyamoya may cause strokes and stroke-like symptoms in young patients. It has also been linked to autoimmune diseases and neuropsychiatric conditions. We present a case of moyamoya disease in a young patient with concomitant hyperaldosteronism, uncontrolled hypertension, and cocaine use disorder, along with features of antisocial personality disorder. This is a unique presentation of an underlying neurological disease causing psychiatric features exacerbated by cocaine use, and it describes a rare clinical presentation that physicians should consider in patients with moyamoya disease.
烟雾病是一种脑血管疾病,其特征为颅内大动脉狭窄以及较小的侧支血管形成。烟雾病可能在年轻患者中引发中风及类似中风的症状。它还与自身免疫性疾病和神经精神疾病有关。我们报告了一例年轻烟雾病患者,该患者同时伴有醛固酮增多症、难以控制的高血压、可卡因使用障碍以及反社会型人格障碍的特征。这是一种潜在神经疾病的独特表现,可卡因使用加剧了其精神症状,并且描述了一种罕见的临床表现,医生在烟雾病患者中应予以考虑。
