Abstract

Peripheral aneurysms in patients with moyamoya disease have been reported to be hazardous owing to their rupture-prone nature. High-resolution vessel wall imaging has recently emerged as a useful modality for evaluating intracranial aneurysmal status. We present the vessel-wall imaging of peripheral aneurysms in three patients with moyamoya disease. Strong circumferential wall enhancement was observed in ruptured peripheral aneurysms. Peripheral aneurysms were located at the connection point between the single main stem and the multiple medullary tributaries of the choroidal anastomosis. Using high-resolution vessel-wall imaging, we identified the characteristics of peripheral aneurysms in patients with moyamoya disease.
