INCREASE ARTERIAL STIFFNESS IN MOYAMOYA DISEASE PRESENTING WITH HYPERTENSION AND STROKE: A NOVEL FINDING IN A VERY RARE CASE IN SINGAPORE.
Abstract
Arterial stiffness in Moyamoya disease (MMD) has not been described before in literature. We describe a young 42 year-old lady who initially presented as hypertensive urgency and recurrent stroke and was later diagnosed with MMD. We would like to highlight increased arterial stiffness as a cause of hypertension in patients with MMD.
