Abstract
Moyamoya disease is characterised by idiopathic steno-occlusion at the intracranial carotid arteries with concomitant abnormal vascular networks. In this case report, a 34 year old man presented to the emergency room with a complaint of seizure and was diagnosed with Moyamoya disease by history, examination, cranial computed tomography (CCT) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). This case was reported as it is the first known example of a patient presenting initially with seizure, as well as the rarity of the disease
