Abstract

We describe the clinical course of a young female Caucasian patient with bilateral moyamoya disease in whom we could diagnose the simultaneous occurrence of cerebral ischemia, TIAs, limb shaking TIAs and focal Jacksonian seizures. It is the second clinical communication in the literature elaborating limb shaking TIAs in moyamoya disease.
