Three cases of ruptured intracranial aneurysm associated with moyamoya disease are presented. Endovascular treatments were performed successfully in two patients with major artery aneurysms. One patient with a collateral aneurysm was managed conservatively and follow-up angiography 1 year later demonstrated spontaneous disappearance of the aneurysm. Our experience suggests that although aneurysms associated with moyamoya disease show differences in evolution and location, endovascular treatment of major artery aneurysms is safe and effective, and peripheral aneurysms which cannot be directly accessed for surgery or endovascular embolization may be treated conservatively.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009072 Moyamoya Disease A noninflammatory, progressive occlusion of the intracranial CAROTID ARTERIES and the formation of netlike collateral arteries arising from the CIRCLE OF WILLIS. Cerebral angiogram shows the puff-of-smoke (moyamoya) collaterals at the base of the brain. It is characterized by endothelial HYPERPLASIA and FIBROSIS with thickening of arterial walls. This disease primarily affects children but can also occur in adults.

D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.
