ABSTRACT
It is well known that moyamoya disease is often accompanied by an intracranial aneurysm. We present 3 patients, among total 40 patients with moyamoya disease over a recent 4-year period, in whom moyamoya disease and an intracranial saccular aneurysm were discovered simultaneously. In 2 of the 3 patients, the aneurysms were occluded endovascularly by Guglielmi detachable coils(GDC). Here, with review of pertinent literature, we discuss the clinical characteristics of an intracranial aneurysm associated with moyamoya disease and the benefits and drawbacks between two therapeutic options- direct surgery and endovascular treatment.
