Background Moyamoya is a progressive intracranial vasculopathy, primarily affecting distal segments of the internal carotid and middle cerebral arteries. Treatment may comprise angiogenesis‐inducing surgical revascularization; however, lack of randomized trials often results in subjective treatment...
