The etiology of isolated middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis in young patients and that of moyamoya disease remain unclear.1 A 25-year-old woman with chronic headache underwent brain MRI and cerebral angiography, which showed isolated MCA stenosis (figure, A). Physical and neurologic examinations were normal. She had no risk factors for atherosclerosis or stroke. Findings of the follow-up angiography, which was taken due to transient left arm weakness, were consistent with those of moyamoya disease (figure, B).2 Isolated MCA stenosis in a young patient with no other medical conditions may be an initial feature of moyamoya disease.

Figure. Angiography was performed twice, with an interval of 4 years and 8 months apart. (A) The initial angiography shows isolated stenosis of the right middle cerebral artery (arrowhead). (B) The follow-up angiography demonstrates typical features of moyamoya disease, including severe stenosis of the bilateral ICA (arrows) and basal collateral networks.
