CT Brain showed large areas of post ictal edema in the left fronto - parietal lobes and gliotic areas in the right parieto – occipital lobes. MR Angiogram with Right Carotid injection showed supraclinoid occlusion with collaterals and Vertebro Basillar injection showed multiple collaterals giving Puff of Smoke [2] appearance which is diagnostic of Moya Moya Disesae. Child was treated surgically by Encephalo Myo Synangiosis [4] (EMS).
