Next topic for discussion: Moyamoya
disease interpretation in Ayurveda
Ayulink International:
Definition:
Moyamoya disease is a rare, progressive cerebrovascular disorder caused by
blocked arteries at the base of the brain in an area called the basal ganglia.
The name “moyamoya” means “puff of smoke” in Japanese and describes the look of
the tangle of tiny vessels formed to compensate for the blockage.

Gary Yuen: Looking at studies, seems many
sufferers are obese, have hypertension, high cholesrerol, etc. Blocked arteries
of any kind i think only happen in such cases?
Does
ayurveda describe symptoms of such things like eating too many aninal produxts?
Charak attributes prameha with one cause of consuming domesticated animals so
there's an awareness of excess. Possibly other things can be compared.
Ayulink International:
Actually I could not find any such description in the books. May be it
is from Majja dhatu disturbance
came
across one young female patient of approx 21 year , first time in my practice.
So I took this chance to share with all of you. I know this is not very common
condition and we don't have more number of patients if this condition. But
let's share our thoughts - ideas and hypothesis here.
It's
just like any other neuro muscular diseases in first look. But when patient
told me that she is having diagnosis of Moya Moya diseases, I was clueless. I
took time to suggest anything to patient. That's why I wish to have ideas and
comments from all of you. Google can give several information about this. But
what about treatment?
Gary Yuen: Can you describe her physical features and
habits? Overweight excess kapha diet of excess milk meat fish eggs cheese ghee
etc? Descriptions of the condition suggest hypertension or someone with habits
leading to it and possibly an auroimmune condition.
I
would guess correct treatment of kapha and one should see at least a minor
change within a few weeks. Anyone with excess kapha will eventually have some
condition. It is not possible to be healthy and overweight.
Ayulink International:
I would suggest all of interested friends to read about this condition :
Gary Yuen: Studies on pubmed have more info. There was
something about change in spine, spaces between bones narrowing. Other factors
maybe cause that.
A
few studies so far link hypertension with i think it was 30%+ cases. Other
things make me think it affects mainly those with excess kapha. That doesn't
mean it's the cause but one factor of several.
Describing
the patient would help verify.
Likely
a recent new condition. Could mean that it isn't genetic but is due to some
external factor in east Asia. Nuclear radiation, unique pollution from China
sea, etc.
Vd. Dhruti Kagrana:
Symptoms
Moyamoya
disease may occur at any age, though symptoms most commonly occur between 5 and
10 years of age in children and between 30 and 50 years of age in adults.
The
first symptom of moyamoya disease is usually stroke or recurrent transient
ischemic attacks (TIAs), especially in children. Adults may also experience
these symptoms but more often experience bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic
stroke) from abnormal brain vessels.
Accompanying
signs and symptoms of moyamoya disease related to reduced blood flow to the
brain include:
-
Headache
-
Seizures
-
Weakness,
numbness or paralysis in your face, arm or leg, typically on one side of your
body
-
Visual
disturbances
-
Difficulties
with speaking or understanding others (aphasia)
-
Developmental
delays
-
Involuntary
movements
-
Cognitive
decline
