Thalamo-perforating artery aneurysm in Moyamoya disease - case report.
A 31-year-old man with Moyamoya disease had received a right encephalo-duro-arterial synangiosis and later developed a rupture of the left thalamo-perforating artery aneurysm. Surgical strategies were discussed. Perfusion studies revealed increased haemodynamic stress on the left hemisphere which was likely the cause of the aneurysm.
