No: The etiology of moyamoya is not understood and therefore no, there is no cure. The consequences of the disease can be mitigated by an extra-intracranial bypass which will allow for enough blood flow into the brain to avoid a major stroke. Gary steinberg at stanford is the national expert for this disease.
