Moyamoya Disease Associated with Asymptomatic Mosaic Turner Syndrome: A Rare Cause of Hemorrhagic Stroke
We present the first reported case of an adult patient with previously unrecognized mosaic Turner syndrome with acute subarachnoid and intracerebral hemorrhage as the initial manifestation of moyamoya syndrome. A 52-year-old woman was admitted with a subarachnoid hemorrhage with associated flame-shaped intracerebral hemorrhage in the left frontal lobe. Physical examination revealed short stature, pectus excavatum, small fingers, micrognathia, and mild facial dysmorphism. Cerebral angiography showed features consistent with bilateral moyamoya disease, aberrant intrathoracic vessels, and an unruptured 4-mm right superior hyp...

A Reanalysis of Predictors for the Risk of Hemorrhage in Brain Arteriovenous Malformation
Brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM) is a congenital cerebral vascular disease that characterized with intracranial hemorrhage and epilepsy. It has some risk in current treatments including microsurgery, endovascular, and radiation therapy. Some patients with bAVMs may keep unruptured in their whole life. Whether it should be treated depends on the evaluation of the hemorrhage risk of bAVM. Although previous studies gave many significant predictors, we tried to find some new and more significant predictors in 173 patients with bAVMS by retrospective analysis.
