Diagnosis

Your doctor will begin by conducting a thorough physical examination of your child. If he or she suspects moyoma, they will recommend a test called a cerebral angiography. During this procedure, an X-ray is taken to examine the brain's arteries, but first dye is injected into the arteries to make them easier to see on the X-ray.
