Abstract

A 9-year-old female patient with evidence of intraventricular hemorrhage by computed tomography was subsequently proven to have moyamoya disease by cerebral angiography. Subarachnoid hemorrhage is the most common initial manifestation of moyamoya disease in the adult. However, such presentation seldom occurs in childhood moyamoya disease, and intraventricular hemorrhage has been quite rare in children. The rarity of this manifestation of moyamoya disease and its cause are discussed. In addition, a total of 84 cases reported in Korea have been reviewed.
