Anesthetic Approach for Cesarean Section in a Pregnant Patient with Moyamoya Disease: A Case Report

Abstract

Moyamoya is a rare cerebrovascular disease characterized by its bilateral progress in the circle of Willis and internal carotid arteries, causing the development of collateral vessels. Its first angiographic image was taken in Japan in 1957, and it was called Moyamoya, meaning “a puff of smoke in the air”. Its etiology is not known accurately. Our patient was a 32-year old, 34- week 3-day pregnant woman, who was taken for an emergency cesarean section. The patient was diagnosed with Moyamoya 10 years ago, and she has prescribed 150 mg of acetylsalicylic acid per day for her condition. The patient’s neurological examinations were normal during the preoperative period. The patient was successfully operated following an attentive follow-up and slow induction
