Moyamoya disease with repeated intraventricular hemorrhage due to aneurysm rupture. Report of two cases

J Neurosurg. 1994 Feb;80(2):328-31. doi: 10.3171/jns.1994.80.2.0328.

Abstract

Two cases of moyamoya disease associated with repeated intraventricular hemorrhage are reported. The origin of bleeding was thought to be a distal aneurysm of the choroidal artery. The aneurysms were confirmed radiologically and histologically. The relationship between moyamoya disease and aneurysms is discussed, and a treatment proposed.
