Moya-Moya disease is a vascular disease. In its typical form, it is characterized by a narrowing of the distal internal carotid artery that extends to the proximal segments of the middle and anterior cerebral arteries, resulting in the formation of collateral vessels. We report on a 49-year-old female patient who initially presented with epileptic seizures and was diagnosed with this condition.
