Abstract

Cerebral aneurysms associated with moyamoya disease are often reviewed. When they occur, they generally are located around the circle of Willis and in the basal ganglia. Peripheral aneurysms in the lateral posterior choroidal artery are exceptionally rare and optimal treatment may be difficult. We describe a case of moyamoya disease with a thalamic hematoma and aneurysm in the distal LPChA unassociated with the thalamic hemorrhage. Endovascular treatment with glue was performed, resulting in an excellent anatomical and clinical outcome.

Key Words: Choroidal artery aneurysm; Moyamoya disease; Treatment
