In 33 pediatric cases of idiopathic progressive occlusive disease of the circle of Willis (so-called moyamoya disease), clinical features and CAG findings were studied with emphasis on their evolutionary aspects. 1. The subjects were clinically classified as follows; 23 cases of pure transient ische...
