Abstract
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.
