Peripheral aneurysms associated with moyamoya disease, particularly those originating from the anterior choroidal artery, often have a poor prognosis and are typically managed with endovascular treatments. Comprehensive imaging diagnostics and anatomical expertise are critical in minimizing ischemic complications during treatment. We present a case of a 55-year-old woman with a rapidly enlarging distal anterior choroidal artery aneurysm identified during an intracerebral hemorrhage associated with moyamoya disease. The patient underwent super-selective embolization using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) during the chronic phase, resulting in a favorable outcome. Detailed intraoperative imaging was essential in guiding the treatment and mitigating risks.
