Core Tip	Moyamoya disease (MMD) involves progressive arterial stenosis, leading to cerebral infarctions and hemorrhages. Key treatments include revascularization surgery and supplementary medical therapy. Antithrombotic management, crucial for ischemic stroke prevention in MMD, requires a careful balance due to bleeding risks. Understanding cerebral infarction pathways, involving hemodynamic impairment and thromboembolism, is essential. Transcranial doppler is useful for emboli detection and screening. Antiplatelet therapy, especially Acetylsalicylic acid, is common, but its efficacy varies. Antihypertensive management is recommended during initial hemorrhage phases, while lipid-lowering strategies like statins show potential but need more research for specific guidelines in MMD.
