Hi i read your query very carefully.
Fortunately your diseases aren't untreatable disease.
For the Moyamoya disease the best treatment strategy is surgery followed by antiplatelet therapy to prevent future stroke (after surgery prognosis is good and all effort is to prevent stroke that may cause paralysis.)
For constrictive pericarditis also the best treatment is cardiac surgery and after surgery if no other cardiac problems are present the prognosis is good.
Hope i answered to your query.
