Moyamoya disease in a patient with type I glycogenosis
T. R. Sunder
A 17-year-old boy with type I glycogen storage disease (GSD-I) and a stroke
associated with moyamoya disease is described. This is the first report of
this association, and only the second reported case of cerebrovascular
disease in patients with GSD-I. The relationship of the primary metabolic
error and the vascular injury is explored. This represents yet another
disorder associated with moyamoya disease, which is considered to be a
secondary phenomenon of vascular occlusion that occurs under a specific set
of circumstances in a susceptible age group.
