Be careful if you have these symptoms, it may be a rare disease called moyamoya disease!

When it comes to "moyamoya disease", you may be very unfamiliar with it. When it comes to moyamoya disease, many people think that it is a disease caused by smoking or inhaling other harmful smoke, which causes damage to the body. In fact, moyamoya disease is a special ischemic cerebrovascular disease, but how to detect this disease and what symptoms will appear after the disease?

Generally speaking, the first symptom that patients experience after suffering from "moyamoya disease" is "pain". Many patients will suffer from epileptic seizures due to ischemia after the disease. In addition, there may be symptoms such as poor memory and mental cognitive disorders. If these symptoms are not taken seriously, as the disease worsens, the patient may also suffer from major diseases such as cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage, which will pose a serious threat to life and health!

Patients with moyamoya disease are mainly concentrated in two groups: children aged 5-10 and young and middle-aged people aged 25-45. Regardless of the age group of the patient, they will start with relatively mild symptoms after the disease. Taking children as an example, in the early stage of the disease, children may have symptoms of headaches. At this time, some parents will think that the children are lying because of studying. Little do they know that their children may have suffered from "moyamoya disease". Therefore, when you hear your child say that he has a headache, parents must pay great attention to it and take the child to a regular hospital for an examination to determine the cause of the child's headache.

Young patients with moyamoya disease aged 25-45 often have symptoms of poor memory. Some of these patients are so serious that they cannot write or remember how to write, and even have abnormal mental state. Therefore, if young people have memory loss in their life and work, they should go to the hospital for a check-up in time to see if it is caused by "moyamoya disease". If it is confirmed that it is caused by "moyamoya disease", timely surgical treatment is the best solution.

Of course, "moyamoya disease" will not let go of the elderly easily. Elderly "moyamoya disease" patients are often misdiagnosed. There was once a 68-year-old elderly moyamoya disease patient who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease at the age of 58. Because of the disease, she went missing three times in seven years, and her family members have been accompanying her to see a doctor for seven years. During these seven years, her family members never suspected that she had cerebrovascular disease until she had symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage, and then went for a more comprehensive examination. After a series of supporting examinations such as brain CT and MRI, it was found that the reason why this elderly person had symptoms of "Alzheimer's disease" in the past seven years was ultimately caused by "moyamoya disease"! Later, after professional surgical treatment, the patient's symptoms were alleviated, and she was able to recognize her own children slowly, which made her family very happy.

Whether it is children, young and middle-aged people, or the elderly, as long as symptoms of dizziness, poor memory, and weakness appear in life, you must pay attention to it, discover it in time and treat it in time, because it is very likely caused by "smog disease"!
