“…In our case, we accordingly performed an EC-IC bypass, yet the aneurysm size significantly increased within a short period of time. Cases of aneurysm formation localized close to the anastomosis after bypass surgery have been documented [1,7,8,16,19], but to date, only few cases of aneurysm formation and progression in collateral MMD vessels have been reported [10,12,21]. The treatment of deep-seated peripheral artery aneurysms is technically challenging [22].…”

Peripheral collateral vessel aneurysms in Moyamoya disease (MMD) remain difficult to treat due to their deep location, small size, and vascular fragility. We report the case of an aneurysm localized in the hypothalamus, which was rapidly increasing in size with repeated hemorrhage despite revascularization surgery. Aneurysm clipping was performed to prevent further progress and rerupture with favorable outcome. To our best knowledge, this is the first description of a hypothalamic aneurysm in MMD being clipped via a transcallosal, transchoroidal approach through the third ventricle.
