Bacterial meningitis (BM) is a serious disease for children,and many patients have various complications and sequelae even after receiving antibacterial treatments.Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a cerebrovascular disease characterized by bilateral stenosis/occlusion of the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and its main branches and by moyamoya vessels (abnormal vascular net) in the base of the brain.The etiology of MMD is unknown.Patients having similar cerebral vasculopathy with underlying diseases are described using the term moyamoya syndrome (MMS).1 Onset of MMS after BM is rare.Here,we report the case of a patient diagnosed with MMS 22 weeks after the onset of Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis.This is the first reported pediatric case of MMS diagnosed after pneumococcal meningitis.展开更多
