Abstract: A 35-year-old Hispanic female presented to the neurology clinic with a four-year history of severe, aura-like headaches beginning after a motor vehicle accident. She was previously diagnosed with a primary migraine disorder and prescribed verapamil but failed to improve. On history-taking, the patient described a distant episode consistent with TIA, and transcranial Doppler was performed to screen for underlying vascular pathology. Ultrasonography revealed flow changes in the circle of Willis suspicious for moyama disease. The diagnosis was subsequently confirmed on MRA.
