Characterization of Global Research Trends and Prospects on Moyamoya disease: Bibliometric Analysis.
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare cerebrovascular disease in neurology. This study investigates the literature related to MMD from its discovery to the present and identifies research levels, achievements, and trends. ⋯ We analyzed publications of global scientific research on MMD systematically by bibliometric methods. This study can provide one of the most comprehensive and accurate analyses for MMD scholars worldwide.

Traumatic carotid cavernous fistulas (TCCFs) and traumatic intracranial pseudoaneurysms are uncommon vascular anomalies associated with head trauma.1,2 Detachable balloons, covered stents, or liquid embolic agents can be used to treat TCCFs in some conditions.3,4 TCCF concomitant with pseudoaneurysm is an extremely rare occurrence in the literature.5,6 In Video 1, we present a unique case of a TCCF concomitant with a giant pseudoaneurysm of the posterior communicating segment of the left internal carotid artery in a young patient. Both lesions were successfully managed with an endovascular treatment using a Tubridge flow diverter (MicroPort Medical Company, Shanghai, China), coils, and Onyx 18 (Medtronic, Bridgeton, Missouri, USA). ⋯ This video shows a new treatment method for TCCF concomitant with a pseudoaneurysm. The patient consented to the procedure.
