Moyamoya disease is most commonly seen in young and middle-aged patients. Presentation in the elderly (defined as 60 years and older in this study) is rare, and has never been reported in the literature. In this study, both direct and indirect revascularization procedures demonstrated potential benefit in some of these patients, with stabilization of progressive symptoms.
