Int J Neurosci 2024; 134:1068-1074. [PMID: 37330700 DOI: 10.1080/00207454.2023.2211729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2021] [Revised: 06/28/2021] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We report a case of 39-year-old male patient with an unruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysm associated with moyamoya disease (MMD) treated by surgical clipping combined with encephalo-duro-myo-synangiosis surgery. CASE DESCRIPTION A 39-year-old male patient with a history of intraventricular hemorrhage was admitted to our hospital. Preoperative digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed the aneurysm, arising from a collateral branch of the right middle cerebral artery (RMCA), had an extremely thin neck. Also present were an occlusion of the RMCA main trunk, and moyamoya vessels. Microsurgical aneurysm clipping was performed for the aneurysm, while encephalo-duro-myo-synangiosis was performed for ipsilateral MMD. At the 4-month follow-up, the patient had recovered well and DSA indicated improved cerebral perfusion with no de novo aneurysms. CONCLUSIONS For ipsilateral moyamoya disease accompanied with intracranial aneurysm (IA), simultaneous surgery combining microsurgical clipping and encephalo-duro-myo-synangiosis can be a good treatment option.

Abstract
Background: Using two case reports of adult women with moyamoya disease presenting with intracranial hemorrhage from ruptured aneurysms on moyamoya collateral vessels, we aim to demonstrate the potential for effective endovascular treatment navigated by CT angiography, digital subtraction angiography, and flat panel CT. Case 1 Presentation: A 45-year-old female patient with sudden onset of headache, followed by somnolency. CT scan showed a four-ventricle hematocephalus caused by a 27 × 31 × 17 mm hematoma located in the left basal ganglia. Angiography revealed a 3 mm aneurysm on hypertrophic lenticulostriate artery bridging the M1 occlusion. Selective catheterization and distal embolisation with acrylic glue was done. Case 2 Presentation: A 47-year-old woman was admitted for a sudden onset of severe headache, CT scan showed four-ventricle hematocephalus. A 4 mm aneurysm on the collateral vessel-anterior chorioidal artery bridging the closure of the terminal segment of the internal carotid artery was diagnosed as the source of bleeding. Selective catheterization and distal embolisation with acrylic glue was done. Conclusions: Selective embolisation of ruptured aneurysms on moya moya collaterals is a simple, effective, and safe procedure when relevant microcatheters are used with imaging software navigation such as 3D DSA, 3D road map and flat-panel CT.

Abstract
Background Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is rarely used to explore the effect of moyamoya disease (MMD) on the basilar artery (BA) and its adjacent arteries. Methods Participants were divided into a control group and an MMD group. The relevant parameters were measured. Statistical analyses included the t-test, chi-squared test, and linear regression analysis. Results In the control group of 100 healthy people, the average age was 54.51 ± 13.40 years, and the ratio of males to females was 0.89:1. In the MMD group of 100 patients, the average age was 53.95 ± 11.31 years, and the ratio of males to females was 1.13:1. In the MMD group, the CTA score of the anterior circulation of the bilateral hemispheres was 7.57 ± 2.36. According to the statistical analyses, (1) in the control group, the BA apex tended to lean to the right in healthy participants; (2) in the MMD group, the BA was closer to the midline, and the angle between the BA and anterior inferior cerebellar artery was reduced, indicating that the BA was relatively elevated; (3) in the MMD group, the diameters of the BA, PCA and vertebral artery were larger than those in the control group; and (4) MMD patients with posterior cerebral atery (PCA) involvement had higher CTA scores of the anterior circulation. Conclusions MMD can cause the BA to move toward the midline and upward and enlarge major vessels of the posterior circulation. The PCA tends to be involved in MMD patients with higher CTA scores in the anterior circulation.

Abstract
This study conducts an in-depth analysis of the management of a complex arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in a 44-year-old individual, who initially manifested with acute left hemiparesis and progressively declined into a comatose state. Diagnostic neuroimaging identified a substantial right fronto-temporal intraparenchymal hematoma via a CT scan. Cerebral angiography further elucidated a choroidal AVM originating from the anterior choroidal artery, accompanied by intranidal aneurysms. The elected treatment strategy was the surgical excision of the AVM. The procedure achieved complete removal of the intracranial AVM, situated in a neurologically sensitive region, leading to notable neurological recovery. This study thoroughly explores and critically evaluates a wide spectrum of treatment approaches for intracranial arteriovenous malformations, including novel endovascular therapies. Despite extensive discourse on AVM in contemporary literature, this report is among the few documenting the treatment of a choroidal AVM via a microsurgical technique, and highlights various therapeutic options.

Abstract
Background Moyamoya disease (MMD) can be a major cause of hemorrhagic stroke. Though extensive angiographic studies have been undertaken, the understanding of the association between aneurysms and MMD remains unanswered. In this study, we explore the association of the aneurysm with MMD and its management. We have also reviewed such associations described in the literature and how the present cases differ from those previously described. Materials and methods The clinical and radiologic data of moyamoya disease cases were accessed from medical and radiological records between January 2010 and July 2017. Two neuroradiologists independently analyzed the data and imaging details. Results Out of 103 patients with MMD, eight patients (7.77%) had associated intracranial aneurysms with eleven aneurysms. Out of the 11 aneurysms, five were the tip of the basilar artery aneurysms and were the most common location for aneurysm (45.5%), followed by lenticulostriate artery, PCA perforator, and distal ACA (DACA) in the P1 PCA, P2 PCA, and P3 PCA artery aneurysms. Out of eight patients, five (62.5%) had a hemorrhage on a non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) scan of the brain, whereas three (37.5%) had an ischemic presentation. Out of 11 aneurysms, seven aneurysms, including three basilar tip aneurysms (unruptured) and one PCA perforator (ruptured), and three saccular PCA (P1, P2, and P3) (ruptured) were treated by endovascular coiling. Follow-up angiography showed stable aneurysmal occlusion except in one basilar tip, where recurrence was observed. Conclusions MMD-intracranial aneurysm is commonly observed in patients with intracranial hemorrhage and carries a higher risk of rupture. Therefore, identification of the aneurysm is essential for management. Endovascular treatment, either with coil or glue embolization, can be a safe and effective treatment method for such aneurysms with long-term good results.

Surg Neurol Int 2023; 14:254.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventricular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are localized in the ventricles and are mainly fed by the anterior choroidal artery (AChoA) and posterior choroidal artery (PChoA). Surgical resection of ventricular AVMs is difficult as the lesions are localized deep in the brain. Therefore, endovascular treatment is expected to treat ventricular AVMs. However, embolization from the AChoA and PChoA carries the risk of ischemic complications. Even though there are some major reports on embolization strategies from the choroidal arteries, embolization of these arteries remains technically challenging. In this article, we report two successful cases of ventricular AVM embolization using AChoA and PChoA. CASE DESCRIPTION Case 1: A 34-year-old male presented with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Subsequently, ventricular AVM embolization in the anterior horn was performed using n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) through the AChoA and medial PChoA, and complete obliteration was observed without neurological deterioration. Case 2: A 71-year-old female presented with IVH. Subsequently, ventricular AVM embolization in the lateral ventricle was performed through the AChoA and lateral PChoA with Onyx and NBCA, and partial obliteration was observed without complications. Furthermore, Gamma Knife surgery for residual lesions resulted in complete obliteration. CONCLUSION Embolization through the choroidal arteries for ventricular AVMs is an effective curative or adjunctive treatment.

Natural course and risk factors of moyamoya disease with unruptured intracranial aneurysm. Front Neurol 2023; 14:1115909. [PMID: 36846147 PMCID: PMC9947525 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2023.1115909] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and objective The natural course and risk factors of moyamoya disease (MMD) associated with unruptured intracranial aneurysms involving stenosed parental arteries are scarcely studied. This study aimed to elucidate the natural course of MMD and its associated risk factors in patients with MMD with unruptured aneurysms. Methods Between September 2006 and October 2021, patients with MMD with intracranial aneurysms at our center were examined. The natural course, clinical features, radiological features, and follow-up outcomes after revascularization were analyzed. Results This study included 42 patients with MMD with intracranial aneurysms (42 aneurysms). The age distribution of MMD cases ranged from 6 to 69 years, with four children (9.5%) and 38 adults (90.5%). A total of 17 male and 25 female subjects were included (male-to-female ratio: 1:1.47). The first symptom was cerebral ischemia in 28 cases, and cerebral hemorrhage occurred in 14 cases. There were 35 trunk aneurysms and seven peripheral aneurysms. There were 34 small aneurysms (<5 mm) and eight medium aneurysms (5-15 mm). During the average clinical follow-up period of 37.90 ± 32.53 months, there was no rupture or bleeding from aneurysms. Twenty-seven of these patients underwent a cerebral angiography review, in which it was found that one aneurysm had enlarged, 16 had remained unchanged, and 10 had shrunk or disappeared. A correlation exists between the reduction or disappearance of aneurysms and the progression of the Suzuki stages of MMD (P = 0.015). Nineteen patients underwent EDAS on the aneurysm side, and nine aneurysms disappeared, while eight patients did not undergo EDAS on the aneurysm side and one aneurysm disappeared. Conclusion The risk of rupture and hemorrhage of unruptured intracranial aneurysms is low when the parent artery already has stenotic lesions, thus, direct intervention may not be necessary for such aneurysms. The progression of the Suzuki stage of moyamoya disease may play a role in the shrinkage or disappearance of the aneurysms, thereby decreasing the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis (EDAS) surgery may also help promote atrophy or even the disappearance of the aneurysm, thus reducing the risk of further rupture and bleeding.

Abstract
Background Aneurysms in moyamoya vessels or on collaterals are difficult to treat. Parent artery occlusion (PAO) via endovascular treatment (EVT) is often the last resort, but the safety and efficacy of this approach need to be evaluated. Materials and methods A retrospective study was performed on patients admitted to our hospital who were diagnosed with unilateral or bilateral moyamoya disease (MMD) associated with ruptured aneurysms in moyamoya vessels or on collaterals. These aneurysms were treated with PAO, and the clinical outcome was recorded. Results Eleven patients were aged 54.7 ± 10.4 years, and six patients were male (54.5%, 6/11). The aneurysms in 11 patients were single and ruptured, and the average size was 2.7 ± 0.6 mm. Three (27.3%, 3/11) aneurysms were located at the distal anterior choroidal artery, 3 (27.3%, 3/11) were at the distal lenticulostriate artery, 3 (27.3%, 3/11) were at the P2-3 segment of the posterior cerebral artery, 1 (9.1%, 1/11) was at the P4-5 segment of the posterior cerebral artery, and 1 was at the transdural location of the middle meningeal artery. Among the 11 aneurysms, PAO by coiling was performed on 7 (63.6%, 7/11), and Onyx casting was performed on 4 (36.4%, 4/11). Of 11 patients, 2 (18.2%, 2/11) suffered intraoperative hemorrhagic complications. During follow-up, all patients had good outcomes with a modified Rankin scale score of 0-2. Conclusion As a last resort, the application of PAO with coiling or casting Onyx for ruptured aneurysms in moyamoya vessels or on collaterals may be safe with an acceptable clinical outcome. However, patients with MMD may not always achieve expected health outcomes, and PAO for the aneurysm can bring only temporary relief.

Abstract
The effect and safety of endovascular treatment of basilar tip aneurysms associated with moyamoya disease are unknown. This study was to investigate the safety and effect of endovascular treatment of basilar tip aneurysms associated with moyamoya disease. Patients with moyamoya disease concurrent with basilar tip aneurysms were retrospectively enrolled and treated with endovascular embolization. The clinical and angiographic data were analyzed. Thirty patients with a basilar tip aneurysm were enrolled, including 8 (26.67%) male and 22 (73.33%) female patients aged 38 to 72 years (mean 54.4 ± 8.15). Endovascular treatment was successfully performed in 29 (96.67%) patients but failed in 1 (3.33%). Immediately after embolization, aneurysm occlusion degree was Raymond-Roy grade I in 26 (89.66%), grade II in 2 (6.90%), and grade III in 1 (3.45%). Intraprocedural complications occurred in 2 (10%) patients, including aneurysm rupture in 1 (3.33%), leading to death of the patient, and stent thrombosis in 2 (6.67%) which was successfully treated with thrombolysis. At discharge, good clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale 0-2) was achieved in 29 (96.67%) and death in 1 (3.03%). Follow-up was performed 6 to 26 months (median 15) in 27 (93.1%) patients. Aneurysm occlusion degree was Raymond-Roy grade I in 21 (77.78%) patients, grade II in 4 (14.81%), and grade III in 2 (7.41%), not significantly (P = .67) different from those immediately after embolization. Aneurysm recurrence was found in 4 patients (14.81%). The clinical outcome was modified Rankin Scale 0 to 2 in all 27 patients, not significantly different from that at discharge. Endovascular embolization can be performed safely and effectively for basilar tip aneurysms associated with moyamoya disease even though more advanced embolization techniques are necessary.

Abstract
While intracranial aneurysms rarely develop after neurosurgical procedures, delayed pseudoaneurysm formation after foramen magnum decompression (FMD) has never been reported. A 52-year-old woman presented with an atypical subarachnoid hemorrhage in the posterior fossa 12 years after a FMD for symptomatic Chiari malformation type I was performed. A pseudoaneurysm on a dural-pial anastomosis was identified as the bleeding source and successfully occluded by endovascular means with full clinical recovery of the patient. Injury to the distal posterior inferior cerebellar artery related to surgery and postoperative infection likely caused formation of a dural-pial anastomosis. Additionally, hemodynamic stress or dissection may have contributed to delayed pseudoaneurysm formation and rupture.

BACKGROUND Main trunk aneurysms in the residual anterior circulation in moyamoya disease (MMD) are uncommon, and in such cases, endovascular treatment (EVT) is a good choice. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed on 35 consecutive patients admitted to our hospital who were diagnosed with MMD and main trunk aneurysms in the residual anterior circulation and were treated with EVT. RESULT The 35 patients were aged 38-77 years (mean, 56.1 ± 8.8 years) and included 17 females (48.6%, 17/35). There were 29 cases (82.9%, 29/35) of hemorrhagic onset. In 35 patients, there were 38 main trunk aneurysms in the residual anterior circulation. Thirty-eight aneurysms underwent coiling; among them, coiling with stent assistance was used in the treatment of 6 (15.8%, 6/38) aneurysms. The immediate modified Raymond-Roy classification (MRRC) was grade I for all aneurysms. Among 35 patients, intraoperative bleeding occurred in 2 (5.7%, 2/35) patients. After EVT, immediate hemiplegia occurred in 4 (11.4%, 4/35) patients, and immediate coma occurred in 1 (2.9%, 1/35) patient. At discharge, in 35 patients, the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) was five in 88.6% of them. Of 35 patients, 68.6% had follow-up data, GOS was five in 87.5% patients, and the MRRC was grade I for all aneurysms in the follow-up angiography. CONCLUSION For main trunk aneurysms in the residual anterior circulation in MMD, although EVT was accompanied by potential ischemic and hemorrhagic complications, which should be considered, EVT can still offer an acceptable prognosis in more than 85% of patients.

Efficacy of Liquid Embolic Agent Treatment in Hemorrhagic Peripheral Intracranial Aneurysms: A Single-Center Experience. Brain Sci 2022; 12:brainsci12091264. [PMID: 36139000 PMCID: PMC9496767 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci12091264] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2022] [Revised: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of liquid embolization agents for treating various hemorrhagic peripheral intracranial aneurysms. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 38 patients who suffered from hemorrhagic peripheral intracranial aneurysms and were treated with liquid embolization agents. We used the modified Rankin scale for follow-up at 6 months postoperatively, and digital subtraction angiography follow-up was performed 6 months postoperatively. Results: Of the 38 patients (ten of simple peripheral intracranial aneurysms, six of Moyamoya disease (MMD), and 22 of arteriovenous malformation (AVM)), posterior circulation accounted for the most significant proportion (57.9%), followed by anterior circulation (21.1%) and intranidal aneurysms (21.1%). Intraoperative hemorrhage occurred in four cases, postoperative cerebral infarction occurred in four cases, two patients encountered microcatheter retention, and intraoperative thrombosis took place in the basilar artery of a patient with an arteriovenous malformation. A postoperative hemorrhage occurred in only one patient. At 6-month follow-up, 84.2% of patients had good prognosis outcomes, and 13.5% had poor outcomes. Conclusion: Liquid embolization agents are effective for hemorrhagic peripheral intracranial aneurysms; however, safety depends on the subtypes. For peripheral hemorrhagic aneurysms in MMD, the vessel architecture must be carefully evaluated before embolization.

Hou K, Yu J. Case Report: Can Ruptured Aneurysms in the Hypoplastic and Plexiform Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Arteries Be Safely Occluded? Front Neurol 2022; 13:904863. [PMID: 35812084 PMCID: PMC9263357 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.904863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Aneurysms arising from the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) are not rare and may originate from the proximal or peripheral segment of the PICA. However, when the affected PICA is hypoplastic and plexiform, it is difficult to occlude the aneurysm without sacrificing the parent vessel, the PICA. This type of aneurysm is rare, and whether it is safe to occlude the aneurysm and the parent artery, in cases of a ruptured aneurysm of the hypoplastic and plexiform PICA, has not been adequately studied and is still open to debate. In this report, two patients with ruptured aneurysms in the hypoplastic and plexiform PICA were presented. Both patients were admitted to our hospital for subarachnoid hemorrhage. After team discussions between the neurosurgeons and neurointerventionalists, the aneurysm and parent PICA had to be occluded via endovascular treatment under general anesthesia. One of the patients developed postprocedural brainstem infarction and exhibited favorable recovery. The other patient died of pulmonary infection, although improvement in the postoperative state was observed. Although rare, aneurysms can originate from the hypoplastic and plexiform PICA. Occluding the aneurysm and hypoplastic parent PICA via endovascular treatment might be a reasonable option.

Abstract
The posterior cerebral artery (PCA) is an important artery that can be divided into four segments (P1-4): segments P1-2 are proximal segments, and segments P3-4 are distal segments. Various aneurysms can occur along the PCA trunk. True saccular aneurysms are rare, and most PCA trunk aneurysms are dissecting. Sometimes, the PCA trunk can give rise to flow-related aneurysms in association with high-flow arteriovenous shunt diseases or moyamoya disease and internal carotid artery occlusion. Some PCA trunk aneurysms require treatment, especially ruptured or large/giant aneurysms. Recently, endovascular treatment (EVT) has become the mainstream treatment for PCA trunk aneurysms, and it mainly involves reconstructive or deconstructive techniques. Traditional EVT includes selective coiling with/without stent or balloon assistance and parent artery occlusion (PAO). For proximal aneurysms, the PCA should be preserved. For distal aneurysms, PAO can be performed. However, during EVT, preservation of the PCA must naturally be the prime objective. Recently, flow-diverting stents have been used and are a revolutionary treatment for unruptured dissecting aneurysms of the PCA trunk. Despite the associated complications, EVT remains an effective method for treating PCA trunk aneurysms and can result in a good prognosis.

Abstract
To date, at least to the best of our knowledge, there are only limited studies available on the endovascular treatment (EVT) of brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) involving the anterior cerebral artery (ACA), thus termed ACA-BAVMs. The present study retrospectively examined 60 patients with ACA-BAVMs treated with EVT. The patients were aged between 10 and 72 years (mean age, 35.4±7.0 years) and included 28 females (46.7%, 28/60). The ACA-BAVMs were divided into three types: Type I BAVMs were those located below and in front of the corpus callosum genu, type II BAVMs were those located at the upper area of the corpus callosum from the genu to the anterior portion of corpus callosum body, and type III BAVMs were those located from the anterior portion of corpus callosum body to the splenium of the corpus callosum. There were 9 (15%, 9/60), 15 (25%, 15/60) and 36 (60%, 36/60) patients with type I, II and III ACA-BAVMs, respectively. Statistical analysis revealed that the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) tended to be involved in type II and III BAVMs. All patients were treated using EVT. During EVT, there were 3 cases of intraoperative bleeding (5%, 3/60), which tended to occur in type I and II ACA-BAVMs. The other 57 cases (95%, 57/60) had no complications and new neurological deficits. At the time of discharge, 48 (80%, 48/60) patients had a Glasgow Outcome Scale score of 5. During the clinical follow-up period, 47 patients were classified according to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score; 39 (83%, 39/47) patients presented with an mRS score of 0. On the whole, the present study demonstrated that EVT may be a safe treatment for ACA-BAVMs.

Abstract
Background: A BAVM that is mainly supplied by the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) lies deeply in the middle of the bilateral posterior hemispheres. Few studies have investigated the imaging characteristics and endovascular treatment (EVT) of brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) in this area. Methods: A retrospective study was performed for patients who were diagnosed with PCA-BAVMs from January 2015 to December 2019. The PCA-BAVMs were divided into type I and type II according to their feeding arteries. Type I PCA-BAVMs were supplied by the posterior choroidal artery (PchA) from the PCA. They could be further subdivided into type Ia and type Ib. Type II PCA-BAVMs were supplied by the temporal or occipital branch from the PCA. They could also be further subdivided into type IIa and IIb. Targeted embolization of the risk factors was the main aim of EVT. Results: Forty-two patients were identified, with age ranging from 6 to 63 years. Twenty-four cases belonged to type I (57.1%, 24/42), including 6 Ia cases and 18 Ib cases. Eighteen cases belonged to type II (42.9%, 18/42), including 7 IIa cases and 11 IIb cases. Immediate complete or nearly complete embolization was achieved in 17 (40.5%, 17/42) cases. Partial embolization was achieved in 25 (59.5%, 25/42) cases. Two (4.8%, 2/42) patients experienced intraoperative or postoperative bleeding. The GOS scores at discharge were 3, 4, and 5 in 2 (4.8%, 2/42), 2 (4.8%, 2/42), and 38 (90.4%, 38/42) cases, respectively. There was no statistical difference between patients in type I and type II groups regarding age, BAVM rupture, SM grade, immediate extent of obliteration, and prognosis. Deep venous drainage was more common in patients of the type I group (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Our classification of the PCA-BAVMs was based on the segmentation of the PCA, which is a reasonable approach and could guide the strategy of EVT. EVT is a reasonable option for the PCA-BAVMs. The main aim of EVT is to secure the weak structures. A targeted EVT aimed at the ruptured part of the BAVM can reduce the risk of early rebleeding.

Location-based treatment of intracranial aneurysms in moyamoya disease: a systematic review and descriptive analysis. Neurosurg Rev 2020; 44:1127-1139.

Abstract
We conducted a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the efficacy of various treatment modalities for intracranial aneurysms (IA) in patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) based on anatomical location of IA. A comprehensive review of studies documenting single cases or series of MMD patients with concomitant IA was conducted. Aneurysms were classified into two primary anatomical categories: those of the Circle of Willis (CoW) and those of peripheral "moyamoya" collateral vessels. Conservative, endovascular, and open surgical treatment modalities and their outcomes between each anatomical subgroup were descriptively compared. A total of 124 studies consisting of 275 patients with 313 IA were included. Of all IA, 59.6% were located on CoW vessels, 33.7% on peripheral vessels, and 6.7% in "other" locations. Of all CoW IA, 87.2% treated with endovascular techniques had no or minimal deficit at follow-up as compared with 56.7% of those treated with open surgery. Ninety-five percent of patients with peripheral aneurysms treated with endovascular therapy had no or minimal deficit, in contrast to open surgery (69.6%). Of peripheral IA treated conservatively with or without revascularization, 65.7% had spontaneous resolution as compared with 12.0% IA of the CoW. Our results support the use of endovascular techniques for direct treatment of both CoW and peripheral IA. Aneurysms of peripheral vessels respond well to indirect treatment through surgical revascularization as opposed to CoW aneurysms. The quality of evidence is limited due to heterogeneity of included studies and IA management in MMD patients should be considered in a case-specific manne.

Abstract
Unlike its parietal, temporal, and occipital counterparts, the frontal lobe has a broad basal surface directly facing the anterior cranial fossa dura mater which could permit establishment of transdural collaterals (TDCs) with the frontal lobe. Studies on the TDCs from the anterior cranial fossa in moyamoya disease (MMD) are scarce and inadequately investigated. A retrospective study of 100 hemispheres in 50 patients who were diagnosed with MMD by catheter angiography between January 2015 and June 2019 was performed in our institution. TDCs through the anterior ethmoid artery (AEA) or posterior ethmoid artery (PEA) were divided into 3 types respectively based on their respective angioarchitecture. Furthermore, we also studied TDCs to the temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes and collaterals from the posterior circulation to the territory of the anterior cerebral artery. TDCs through the AEA and PEA were identified in 89 (89/100, 89%) and 73 (73/100, 73%) of the hemispheres. The vascularization state of the frontal lobe was good in 89 (89/100, 89%) hemispheres. Rete mirabile and TDCs through the PEA were statistically different among patients with different Suzuki stages. No statistical difference was noted in TDCs through the AEA, frontal TDCs from other sources, and the vascularization state of the frontal lobe with regard to different Suzuki stages. TDCs through the AEA and PEA at the anterior cranial fossa play a very important role in compensating the ischemic frontal lobe. The frontal lobe could be well compensated in most of the patients with TDCs at the anterior cranial fossa.
