Clinical and radiographic features of moyamoya disease in patients with both cerebral ischaemia and haemorrhage.

abstract：:Background: Cholesterol granulomas of the petrous apex are benign cysts affecting 0.6 patients per 1 million. The pathophysiology involves cholesterol crystals and lipids that are surrounded by giant cells. The cholesterol deposits induce an inflammatory response likely from acute hemorrhage leading to the formation o...
