Rare combo: moyamoya and lupus in men.
Clinical Rheumatology 2024 April 17
Moyamoya syndrome (MMS) is a rare, chronic, progressive cerebrovascular disorder characterized by stenosis at the apices of the intracranial internal carotid arteries, including the proximal anterior cerebral arteries and middle cerebral arteries. Cerebral angiography images are used for detection through measurement. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that can cause multisystemic involvement. The coexistence of SLE and MMS has been rarely reported in the literature. A 46-year-old male patient with malar rash, Raynaud phenomenon presented to the hospital with a complaint of weakness in the left lower extremity, which began 3 days before the date of the visit. In the diffusion magnetic resonance imaging, multiple diffusion restrictions were observed in the right frontal region. The patient underwent MR angiography, revealing stenosis in the terminal and supraclinoid segments of the right internal carotid artery, which made us consider moyamoya disease. This patient, with a malar rash and Raynaud's, a positive antibody profile, was diagnosed as a male with SLE accompanied by MMS.
