Abstract: Moyamoya disease and syndrome represent an important cause of acute and chronic stroke in children. Neuroimaging plays a critical role in the early recognition, differential diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. This review will discuss the imaging findings and techniques as well as an ideal imaging strategy in the management of children with various etiologies of moyamoya. In addition, the postoperative imaging findings after revascularization will be presented.
