“…In individual moyamoya patients, neurological symptoms secondary to moyamoya included laryngomalacia [ 118 ], hypotension encephalopathy [ 117 ], behavioral changes [ 119 ], oral and written language deficits [ 119 , 128 ], transient psychosis [ 121 , 129 , 173 ], hemiplegia [ 126 , 131 ], hearing loss [ 132 ], and cognitive difficulties [ 120 ]. Movement disorders as symptoms of moyamoya included chorea [ 122 , 123 ], dystonia [ 124 , 125 ], hemifacial spasms [ 130 ], and hemiballismus [ 127 ]. Moreover, Kraemer et al analyzed the incidence of movement disorders among moyamoya patients in Europe.…”

Moyamoya, a rare angiographic finding, is characterized by chronic and progressive stenosis at the terminal end of the internal carotid artery, followed by collateralization of the cerebral vasculature at the base of the skull. Coined by Suzuki and Takaku in 1969, the term “moyamoya” means a “puff of smoke” in Japanese, a reference to the angiographic appearance of moyamoya collateralization. Moyamoya is most commonly found in East Asian countries, where much governmental and civilian effort has been expended to characterize this unique disease process. However, despite its rarity, the occurrence of moyamoya in Western countries is associated with significant divergence regarding incidence, gender, sex, age at diagnosis, clinical presentation, and outcomes. Here, we attempted to review the Western literature on moyamoya presentation using the PubMed database to characterize the Western phenotype of moyamoya. We were guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR). We reviewed papers generated from a search with keywords “moyamoya case report,” those reported from a Western institution, and those reported on a relevant association. Our scoping review demonstrated various clinical associations with moyamoya. Moreover, we summarized the demographic profile and clinical symptomatology, as well as reported disease associations to better elucidate the Western phenotype of moyamoya.
