title: Nonaneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and cerebral infarction associated with moyamoya disease.
abstract: Moyamoya disease patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage and cerebral infarction are rare, especially when the subarachnoid hemorrhage is nonaneurysmal. Here, we present one 48-year-old male patient with moyamoya disease identified with digital subtraction angiography. His initial symptoms are associated with increased intracranial pressure. Subsequent computed tomography demonstrated subarachnoid hemorrhage and cerebral infarction. Digital subtraction angiography showed no obvious aneurysms. We assume that subarachnoid hemorrhage is associated with the rupture of the moyamoya vessels and transdural anastomotic vessels. The cerebral infarction can be also explained by hemodynamic mechanisms. We should pay more attention to the recurrent hemorrhagic stroke.
