Ruptured Peripheral Cerebral Aneurysms Associated With Moyamoya Disease: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

A ruptured peripheral cerebral aneurysm (PPCA) associated with moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition with controversial management strategies. We aim to summarize the clinical characteristics, treatment strategies, and prognostic factors of PPCAs in MMD.

Methods

We reviewed studies published in PubMed between 1980 and 2023 and used logistic regression analysis to identify the risk factors for adverse outcomes.

Results

Of 425 identified studies, 48 eligible studies involving 121 participants were included in the current study. The mean age at diagnosis was 40.8±15.1 years, with a peak age of onset between 41 and 50 years. Among the identified participants, 59.6% were female, and 55.9% presented with impaired
