This upcoming webinar will focus on an important and often overlooked symptom in Moyamoya angiopathy: headache. While headaches are commonly reported by people living with this rare condition, their causes and management are not yet fully understood.
The session is primarily aimed at healthcare professionals, including neurologists, stroke specialists, clinical geneticists, and general practitioners. However, it is also open to patients, families, and others interested in learning more.
What is Moyamoya Angiopathy?
Moyamoya angiopathy is a rare neurovascular disease that affects the blood vessels supplying the brain. Over time, these arteries can become narrowed, reducing blood flow and increasing the risk of stroke. Many patients also experience recurrent headaches, but the link between Moyamoya and headache is still being explored.
Who is this for?
This session is aimed at healthcare professionals who care for people with this rare cerebrovascular condition, especially those involved in the diagnosis or follow-up of patients. This includes:
- Neurologists and stroke specialists
- Paediatricians
- Clinical geneticists
- General practitioners
- Nurses and allied health professionals
What to expect
The webinar will provide insights into:
- How headache presents in patients with Moyamoya angiopathy
- Why it may occur and how it can impact quality of life
- Clinical observations and considerations for care
There will also be a live Q&A session to answer questions from participants.
