The disease debuted at the age of 9, the clinical manifestation was a transient ischemic attack. On the basis of MRI data, lacunar infarctions in "silent zones" were detected. Conclusion. With the introduction of modern methods of neuroimaging in medical institutions, it became possible to reliably diagnose such a rare neurological pathology as Moya-Moya disease and conduct adequate optimal therapeutic measures.
