Revascularization Operation for Moyamoya Disease with Concurrent von Willebrand Disease.
World Neurosurgery 2017 December
BACKGROUND: Although extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass is an effective treatment strategy for symptomatic moyamoya disease, surgeons need to be cautious regarding the possibility of postoperative hemorrhagic complications in patients with a concurrent coagulation disorder. Here, we describe a case of EC-IC bypass for moyamoya disease concurrent with von Willebrand disease type 1.
CASE DESCRIPTION: Following perioperative replacement of the von Willebrand factor, the patient showed an uneventful and uncomplicated clinical course.
CONCLUSION: This is the first reported case of EC-IC bypass being performed for moyamoya disease in a patient with concurrent von Willebrand disease. We emphasize the importance of appropriate management with replacement of the von Willebrand factor during the perioperative period to avoid hemorrhagic complications.
