Planning and surgical strategies for early management of vertebral artery and vertebrobasilar junction aneurysms.

abstract：:The clinical features of 6 children who are probable sufferers of "unilateral" Moyamoya disease are here reported. They showed angiographic findings which were compatible with those of Moyamoya disease, albeit only on one side. They did not, however, show any basic aetiologic factors. The age of onset, the clinical sy...

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Distal middle cerebral artery (dMCA) aneurysms are very rare with a reported frequency of 2-6%. Typically, patients with ruptured distal MCA aneurysms have poor clinical outcomes because often there is both a subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and an intracerebral haematoma (ICH). The goals of this study were to ...
