Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Intracranial hematomas associated with abnormal collateral vessels are observed in certain populations of adult patients with moyamoya disease (MMD). Of these, intraventricular hematomas resulting from rupture of intraventricular aneurysms, which are formed along an abnormal peripheral choroidal artery, are sometimes detected and could be severe. No appropriate treatment option for these ruptured aneurysms has been well established to date. Therefore in this report, we describe the case of an MMD patient with an intraventricular hematoma resulting from a ruptured intraventricular aneurysm arising along the abnormal collateral vessels near the lateral ventricular wall, which was successfully treated using a neuroendoscope. CASE DESCRIPTION:A 53-year-old female with MMD presented with an intraventricular hematoma. The patient had already undergone bilateral, combined direct/indirect cerebral revascularization surgery 3 years prior. Digital subtraction angiography revealed an aneurysm along the abnormal collateral choroidal artery near the posterior horn of the left lateral ventricle. A neuroendoscopic technique was applied to approach and treat the aneurysm; this was performed successfully by trapping using aneurysm clips without intraoperative or postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS:Neuroendoscopic aneurysm trapping using aneurysm clips is a treatment option for an intraventricular aneurysm that causes an intraventricular hematoma in patients with MMD. This technique is minimally invasive and offers good visibility of the surgical field.
