Moyamoya disease (MMD), or moya moya, spontaneous occlusion of the circle of Willis, multiple progressive intracranial arterial occlusion, Nishimoto's disease, cerebral jaxtabasilar telangiectasia, and cerebral basal rete mirabile, is a progressive disorder that results in chronic cerebrovascular accidents. Unique factors hypothesized to have contributed to spontaneous recovery following surgical management of Moyamoya disease are highlighted. Treatment efficacy, with the exception of reduced speaking rate within sessions, could not be determined with any degree of certainty in this individual. Untreated parameters such as sensorineural hearing loss and immediate memory impairment demonstrated resolution, as well, and are discussed. A reduction in speaking rate from baseline was successfully employed during therapy sessions. In addition, the individual's recovery of velopharyngeal function, articulatory precision and other aspects of oral motor strength and range of motion are described in this case report. Moyamoya disease course, epidemiology, etiological theories, and the current treatment options are briefly discussed.

A 37-year-old female postextracranial-intracranial bypass, superficial temporal artery (STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) anastomosis, and angioplasty for treatment of Moyamoya disease was treated over a 13-month period with speech therapy for spastic dysarthria.
