Moya Moya Syndrome vs Disease
I am not a neurologist/neuroradiologist/neurosurgeon and so feel I should not update the page, however the interchanging of Moya moya syndrome and Moya Moya disease is, I believe, incorrect - the former being a collection of diseases (usually vasculitidies) leading to arterial occlusion and secondary rerouting of blood flow via tiny collaterals, and the latter being a particular primary disease process (although of idiopathic aetiology).

CBF
That's a good overview - thanks. Just noted that the explanation of 'CBF' is missing - could you please add it (don't want to mess with your article) Regards, Oliver ''-- The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.235.50.113 on 11:48, October 31, 2005

Styling of name
What is the correct way to write the name of this disease? I see "Moya Moya", "MoyaMoya" and "Moyamoya." For example, this article is titled "Moya Moya" but throughout the text it is spelled "Moyamoya." 128.255.247.108 01:03, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery?
I have seen documentation of a patient with MoyaMoya with stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery. Does the progression of MoyaMoya eventually lead to the inclusion of blood vessels not directly associated with brain function? Thanks. Coding for the Weekend (talk) 15:26, 4 September 2008 (UTC) I'd like to add that it is great to show a picture of the Circle of Willis, but this topic is not the Circle of Willis- it's Moya moya... can't the diagram show the disease?

Inherited?? And other blood vessels
How can it be stated that this is an inherited condition? Dr. Scott, a leading expert in Moyamoya, states "a genetically transmitted form of moyamoya is rare in the Western Hemisphere." Out of the over 300 patients he has seen, only 19 (coming from 12 families) have been related.

As far as the question above about other blood vessels, there are several documented cases of renal arteries also being affect. Ksanchezs (talk) 15:41, 21 June 2010 (UTC)HI!!!

Symptoms
This article keeps refering to the symptoms but doesn't ever state what they are 194.83.141.154 (talk) 15:04, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Treatments
I once read about a treatment called omental transplantation. It involves slicing part of the omentum in the abdomen into a long strip, leaving one end attached to the stomach. The strip is then pulled upwards, underneath the skin, and into the skull, laid out so it covers the brain or the starved hemisphere, and sutured to the dura mater. Would it be worth mentioning? I don't know if that treatment is still used.

"Moyamoya" = "puff of smoke"?
The word "Moyamoya" itself does not mean "puff of smoke". It is a mimetic word that depicts a sense of vagueness or haziness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Axiom of translation (talk • contribs) 15:06, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

A puff of smoke, a mist, a haze, unconfortable feelings, and vague answers are examples of moyamoya things. I pressed Enter and saved the page without signatures by mistake! --AoT (talk) 15:19, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
