Moya Moya Disease (MMD) is a rare cerebrovascular disorder of unknown aetiology. It consists of stenosis or occlusion of main cerebral arteries which causes an abnormal vascular network at the base of the brain, which appears like puff of smoke on MR angiography. Here we report 3 cases of Moya Moya disease presenting to our institute Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla over a period of one year (2017-18) including 1 case of MMS with beta thalassemia .Possibility of Moya Moya disease should be kept in patients with stroke and motor deficit. Gold standard to diagnose the disease is conventional angiography. There is no definitive medical treatment to reverse or stabilize the course of MMD. Early diagnosis and intervention like revascularize surgeries will alter the prognosis.
