Moyamoya Disease Complicating Ebstein's Anomaly

Ebstein's anomaly is an uncommon congenital disorder affecting the tricuspid valve. We herein report a 38-year-old woman who experienced consciousness and sensory disturbance during treatment for heart failure caused by Ebstein's anomaly. Urgent magnetic resonance imaging and cerebral angiography demonstrated acute cerebral infarction and internal carotid artery obstruction with the development of collateral arteries. We diagnosed her with multiple cerebral infarctions due to moyamoya disease. Ebstein's anomaly concomitant with moyamoya disease is extremely rare. However, we should consider the possibility of this rare but important concurrence when treating patients with heart failure due to Ebstein's anomaly to avoid excessive diuresis and vasodilation and irreversible brain injury.
