What causes smoke sickness?

Momoyamoya disease is a topic that is often mentioned in modern life. As people's physical fitness declines, the probability of many people suffering from momoyamoya disease has greatly increased, posing a great threat to life safety. Therefore, people attach great importance to the development of momoyamoya disease. What causes momoyamoya disease? Let’s take a look at the explanation below. I hope everyone can understand this explanation.

Moyamoya disease is a rare cerebrovascular disease, which is characterized by chronic progressive stenosis or occlusion of the main branches of the cerebral artery circle on both sides, causing a network of small blood vessels with abnormal collateral branches. Cerebral angiography shows many densely packed small blood vessel shadows, which resemble the smoke exhaled when smoking, so it is vividly called "moyamoya disease". Moyamoya disease was discovered and named by the Japanese, also known as Moyamoya disease. Moyamoya means "a cloud of smoke" in Japanese.

Moyamoya disease angiography shows smoke-like appearance. As to what causes moyamoya disease, this question is not yet fully understood and there is no scientific conclusion. Some scholars believe that the occurrence of moyamoya disease may be related to genetic factors. Because recent studies have found that the occurrence of moyamoya disease is related to genetic abnormalities of chromosome 3 3p24.2-26, chromosome 6 D6s441 and chromosome 17. At the same time, statistics show that the incidence rate of moyamoya disease among siblings is 42 times higher than that of ordinary people, and the incidence rate among children of patients is 37 times higher. Of course, despite these statistics, there is no actual rigorous theory to suggest that moyamoya disease can be inherited.

Although the cause of moyamoya disease is still unclear, the treatment of moyamoya disease is clear. It is currently recognized in the medical community that the medical treatment of moyamoya disease is generally symptomatic, which can only relieve symptoms in the early stages and has no good effect on treating the disease. Therefore, once moyamoya disease is diagnosed, surgical treatment must be performed as soon as possible. The above is an explanation of the causes of smoke sickness. I hope everyone can understand it and actively prevent this terrible disease.
