Twig-Like Middle Cerebral Artery : Acquired Lesion Rather than Congenital Anomaly
T-MCAs may represent an acquired secondary anomaly rather than a congenital lesion, followed by steno-occlusion of the focal MCA with new arterial network formation. Both Moyamoya angiopathy and chronic atherosclerosis likely contributed to disease progression. Formation of a microaneurysm, dilatation of the lenticulostriate artery, and hemodynamic stress can lead to stroke.
