Abstract

Some reports have shown the association between Moyamoya syndrome and
autoimmune diseases. Herewith, we present a 3.5 yr old girl with Henoch-
Schönleinpurpura (HSP) who was treated with steroids because of sever
colicky abdominal pain. However, central nervous system manifestations such
as headache, ataxia and vision impairment developed during 6 months of her
outpatient follow-up. More evaluation using MRA revealed intracranial stenosis
of internal carotid artery and arterial collaterals that were in favor of Moyamoya
syndrome. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Moyamoya syndrome
following henoch-schönleinpurpura.
