It is a chronic cerebrovascular disease characterized by stenosis and progressive occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid artery termination and the proximal portion of the Willis polygon arteries. It is from prognosis reserved. Its diagnosis is essentially based on arteriography. Its treatment should be early and consists of a revascularization surgery. Through a singular observation the authors report a probable case of Moya-Moya, in a patient of French origin.
