Abstract

Intracerebral or intraventricular hemorrhage is the second most common clinical presentation in patients with moyamoya disease (MMD). In adult patients, hemorrhage is the most common clinical manifestation and is known as the most fatal complication [1, 2]. The exact causes of bleeding from moyamoya disease have not been clarified, but saccular aneurysms formed by hemodynamic stress and fragile collateral vessels have been considered the major sources [3–6].
