Due to impaired blood flow to the brain, clinical presentation of given disease are usually ischemic events, mostly including stroke and TIA or haemorrhage, being more common in children and adults respectively. In addition, children and women are known to be more at risk. CT, MRA and DSA are the preferred diagnostic methods, the last one also being used to confirm the evolution of the disease and results of the treatment. Treatment of the disease is mostly invasive, involving restoration of blood flow to the brain via revascularisation operation,<br \/>\npreferably through direct approach.
