title: Moyamoya disease associated with an anterior inferior cerebellar artery arising from a persistent trigeminal artery.
abstract: The authors present a case of moyamoya disease associated with a persistent trigeminal artery from which the anterior inferior cerebellar artery arose. We reviewed previously reported cases of moyamoya disease associated with persistent carotid-basilar arterial anastomosis and investigated the embryology of this rare arterial variation.
