Have you heard of Moyamoya disease? It's a rare condition that occurs when the blood vessels in the brain gradually narrow.
The problem is that there are few early symptoms.

 

A few years ago, there was a case where a person suddenly collapsed after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine and died from a cerebral hemorrhage a week later.

For the first time while receiving treatment at the hospital Moyamoya disease The diagnosis came out, and the bereaved family eventually filed a lawsuit against the government.

What is Moyamoya disease?

 

Moyamoya disease is a disease in which the brain does not receive sufficient blood supply due to the cerebral blood vessels gradually narrowing or becoming blocked.

When a blood vessel becomes blocked, new, thin blood vessels form around it, and their appearance resembles smoke (moyamoya), hence the name.

If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications such as ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke.

 

 

 

Early symptoms of Moyamoya disease

 

Many people don't notice any symptoms at first, but there are actually small signs.

 

- A feeling of sudden loss of strength or paralysis in the arms or legs
- Speech suddenly becomes slurred and words become difficult to come out.
- Recurring migraine-like headaches
- Overlapping or blurred vision

 

Especially children Nosebleed or yawn It may also appear as .

Yawning is said to be a reaction that occurs when there is a momentary lack of cerebral blood flow.

 

You can just say, “Oh, I’m just tired,” and let it go, but if these symptoms recur, you should definitely get tested for Moyamoya disease.

 

 

Why is the COVID-19 vaccine ruling important?

 

This incident is a bit shocking.

The patient was in good health and had no symptoms of Moyamoya disease.

however He collapsed two hours after receiving the vaccine. , Moyamoya disease was confirmed during the treatment process.

A week later, he eventually died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

 

The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency initially refused compensation, stating, "The direct cause of death was cerebral hemorrhage, and it is difficult to acknowledge a causal relationship with the vaccination."

But the court saw it differently.

 

The gist of the ruling is this:

- Temporal proximity: The significant event occurred immediately after vaccination.
- Common vaccine reactions, such as fever and increased blood pressure, may have caused changes in cerebral blood flow, worsening Moyamoya disease.
- The COVID-19 vaccine is an emergency approval vaccine, so the potential for harm has not yet been clearly identified.

 

In other words, it is not confirmed that “vaccination is the direct cause,” but it is acknowledged that external factors such as vaccines can cause death even in asymptomatic cases.

 

Moyamoya disease testing and treatment

 

Moyamoya disease is diagnosed through tests such as MRI, MRA, and CT angiography.
Even if it's a little bit of a hassle Symptoms such as recurrent headaches, numbness, or nosebleeds If you have this, I recommend getting tested.

 

Treatment may involve medication to maintain blood flow or surgery to create new blood vessel channels.
The method varies depending on the patient's condition and age.

 

 

What is the life expectancy of Moyamoya disease?

 

A thing many people are curious about is lifespan.
If detected and treated early, a normal life is possible.

However, if the diagnosis is delayed and it progresses to cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction, the risk of serious sequelae or death increases.

Ultimately, the key is, “Don’t be complacent just because you don’t have any symptoms, and don’t miss even the smallest signs.”

 

 

finish

 

To summarize, symptoms of Moyamoya disease may initially appear mild, such as nosebleeds, yawning, and headaches. If left untreated, it can lead to cerebral hemorrhage.

As seen in the recent COVID-19 vaccine ruling, it shows that even asymptomatic cases can worsen.

If you experience any suspicious symptoms repeatedly, we strongly recommend that you get tested!
