[A case of moyamoya disease with a subarachnoid hemorrhage treated with endovascular technique].

We report a case of a moyamoya disease presenting with subarachonoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to a ruptured aneurysm. A 40-year-old woman presented with sudden onset of headache and vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) showed diffuse thick SAH localized around basal cistern. 3D-CT Angiography (3D-CTA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) demonstrated a saccular aneurysm at the bifurcation of the left superior cerebellar artery and basilar artery. In addition, the both carotid arteries were occluded at the terminal portion and the territory of both middle cerebral arteries were perfused by abnormal moyamoya vessels. The aneurysm was completely embolized by endovascular embolization. The SAH due to a ruptured aneurysm associated with moyamoya disease is rare. We think endovascular therapy is safe and effective. However, a vasospasm of the catheter technique occurred during the operation. This fact is very important to consider when we treat diseases such as this in the future.
