Abstrakt: Background: The treatment strategy for hemorrhagic moyamoya disease (MMD) due to a ruptured aneurysm at the distal portion of the anterior choroidal artery remains controversial. The authors successfully treated the ruptured aneurysm with neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation, followed by endovascular coil embolization.
Observations: The authors encountered two patients with massive hemorrhagic MMD whose MMD had already been diagnosed and who had a periventricular anastomosis due to a ruptured aneurysm of the distal portion of the anterior choroidal artery involving the periventricular anastomosis. In both cases, neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation was performed for hemorrhagic MMD in the acute phase, followed by endovascular coil embolization of the ruptured aneurysm in the chronic phase. In both endovascular treatments, the patient's condition was stabilized by hematoma evacuation, allowing a detailed preoperative evaluation of the anatomical findings of the vessel and functional findings of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring using continuous monitoring of motor evoked potentials to preserve motor function.
Lessons: Combination therapy can be useful for hemorrhagic MMD in patients with diagnosed MMD with a periventricular anastomosis. Additionally, a preoperative understanding of the vascular construction and intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring will aid in the successful coil embolization of aneurysms at the distal portion of the anterior choroidal artery with hemorrhagic MMD.
