Abstract
Moyamoya disease with pregnancy is rare and might present with cerebral hemorrhage. A 22-year-old primigravida suddenly developed muscular weakness in the right arm and facial discomfort 3 days after cesarean. Computed tomography and cerebrovascular angiography found cerebral infarction attributable to moyamoya disease. Bilateral anastomosis of superficial temporal and middle cerebral arteries was done. Moyamoya disease with pregnancy might present as cerebral infarction after cesarean.
