Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary hypertension is a rare lung vasculopathy with an unknown etiology. Moyamoya disease (MD) is characterized by diffuse distal intracranial stenosis. MD associated with pulmonary hypertension is a rare presentation. Here we report a child who presented with recurrent and intractable syncope and seizure that was diagnosed with MD with pulmonary hypertension. The episodes of syncope and seizure successfully reduced with administration of Magnesium sulfate and Sildenafil.
