主 题:unilateral moyamoya disease cerebellar arteriovenous malformation
摘 要:As a non-atherosclerotic chronic cerebral vasculopathy, moyamoya disease is characterized by progressivesteno-occlusion of the arteries of the circle of Willis with a developed collateral vascular network mainly at the cerebral base. And it is named moyamoya disease because of a characteristic "puff-of-smoke" angiographic appearance. The steno-occlusive process is typically seen involving bilateral internal carotid arteries at their clinoid portion and/or the proximal portion of the anterior cerebral arteries (ACAs) and/or the middle cerebral arteries (MCAs). The coexistence of moyamoya disease and arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is thought to be very rare.
