“…18 A 34-year-old woman suffered an intracranial hemorrhage and right arm paresis. A left temporal lobe mass, moyamoya, and a small right internal carotid artery aneurysm originating from below the ophthalmic artery were demonstrated on angiography.…”

SUMMARY Moyamoya disease is a rare but well described entity which has been found in the angiographic investigation of subarachnoid hemorrhage, its most common symptom in adults. We present 4 patients in whom moyamoya disease and an intracranial saccular aneurysm were discovered. In 2 of the 3 patients suffering a hemorrhage, the aneurysm was the source of bleeding. Three of the aneurysms were located at the basilar artery bifurcation. We recommend a careful search for a concomitant aneurysm in all patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage in whom moyamoya disease is found. We believe these patients should be treated as though the aneurysm were the source of bleeding.

“…These moyamoya vessels and the stenotic and/or occlusive changes are bilateral in most cases, but are occasionally only unilateral in the so-called probable cases [2], Intracranial aneurysms may be associated with moya moya in both unilateral and bilateral cases [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Such association is far from coincidental since the frequency of aneurysms in moyamoya is higher than in the general population [5,9].…”

The occurrence of unilateral and bilateral moyamoya disease may be associated with intracranial aneurysms. These aneurysms are of two types: major-artery aneurysms and peripheral-artery aneurysms. The former arise at the circle of Willis and the latter are located mainly at either the moyamoya vessels or at the choroidal arteries. We analyzed 76 patients with cerebral aneurysms associated with moyamoya disease who were affected unilaterally or bilaterally. Of them, 10 cases were studied by our group and 66have been reported in other studies. The characteristics of the aneurysms were assessed. The frequency of aneurysms associated with moyamoya is 4-fold higher in unilateral than in bilateral moyamoya. Major-artery aneurysms are found mainly in the arterial complex of the anterior communicating artery-anterior cerebral artery in patients with unilateral moyamoya, and in the basilar artery in patients with bilateral moyamoya. When microaneurysms are taken into account, peripheral-artery aneurysms are more frequent than major-artery aneurysms. Our results suggest that aneurysms associated with moyamoya disease have some characteristics that should be taken into consideration when making comparisons with these lesions encountered in the general population.

“…The condition is also recognised as occurring infrequently in the UK although no published details of incidence are available. Indeed the disease is sufficiently uncommon outside Japan among Caucasians and Negroes that reports describe small numbers of cases or even single patients (Simon et al, 1968;Busch, 1969;Lepoire et al, 1969;Galligioni et al, 1971;O'Sullivan, 1973;Hoare and Keogh, 1974;Poor and Gacs, 1974;Sogaard and Jorgensen, 1975;Meriwether et al, H.
