Moyamoya disease associated with bilateral renal artery stenosis

Acta Paediatr Jpn. 1993 Aug;35(4):354-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1442-200x.1993.tb03070.x.

Abstract

Recent research has suggested that an association exists between moyamoya disease and fibromuscular dysplasia which involves systemic vessels, including renal arteries. We report a 3 year old girl with moyamoya disease associated with bilateral renal artery stenosis. This case may support the common etiology of these two clinical conditions. To our knowledge this is the youngest case of moyamoya disease associated with bilateral renal artery stenosis.
