Abstract
Reports on patients with moyamoya disease presenting cerebral ischemic complications after the onset of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and/or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are limited. Herein, we report a case of a 7-year-old girl with moyamoya disease with severe cerebral vasospasm and delayed cerebral infarction following an IVH. Although the case is rare, the potential for vasospasm-induced cerebral infarction should be carefully considered and thus, intensive treatment should be immediately initiated.
