Abstract
Background The co-occurrence of moyamoya vasculopathy and extra-optic pathway tumors is rare in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), with only four cases described in the literature. Brain surgery in these patients may be challenging because of the risk of brain infarction after skin and dural incision. Given its percutaneous and minimally invasive nature, laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is an ideal option for the treatment of brain tumors in these patients. Here, we report on two patients with NF1 and moyamoya syndrome (MMS) treated for a brain glioma with LITT, after cerebral revascularization. Cases The first patient, with familial NF1, underwent bilateral indirect revascularization with multiple burr holes (MBH) for symptomatic MMS. Two years later, she was diagnosed with a left temporal tumor, with evidence of radiologic progression over 10 months. The second patient, also with familial NF1, developed unilateral MMS when he was 6 years old and was treated with MBH. At the age of 15 years, MRI showed a right cingular lesion, growing on serial MRIs. Both patients underwent LITT with no perioperative complications; they are progression free at 10 and 12 months, respectively, and the tumors have decreased in volume. Discussion While the association of extra-optic neoplasm and moyamoya angiopathy is seldom reported in NF1, tumor treatment is challenging in terms of both avoiding stroke and achieving oncological control. Here, we show in 2 cases, that LITT could be a safe and effective option in these rare conditions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE AVM and MM represent neurosurgical challenges, not only when involving eloquent brain, but also by posing a significant intraoperative haemorrhagic risk. It is a challenge in itself to establish a proper differential diagnosis between the two lesions, especially since they require distinct interventional plan of action. We present the case of a patient initially diagnosed by specialists with an intracranial AVM, which was revealed intraoperatively to be in fact an MM. CASE PRESENTATION A 29-years patient, transferred to our department by urgency. The patient symptoms started two weeks prior admission with severe headache and vomiting. A cerebral computer tomographic angiography (CTA) was performed and interpreted by radiologists, as a large left frontal AVM. CLINICAL DISCUSSION Upon through review the majority of surgical team believed the mass to be AVM. However, during surgery it turned out to be Meningioma. The patient underwent a left pterional craniotomy with removal of the tumour, classified as Simpson grade II. The pathological exam confirmed the lesion to be an MM. CONCLUSIONS Acquiring neuro-radiological expertise is vital for the neurosurgeon, as well as fast ability for adjusting the initial action plan with the intraoperative discoveries. An experienced eye can benefit the patient by obtain a correct diagnosis in most difficult cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In a case of concurrent glioblastoma and moyamoya vasculopathy, it is arduous to safely perform surgery because the brain is highly vulnerable and collaterals are sometimes well developed. In addition, radiotherapy carries a risk of aggravating moyamoya vasculopathy, and chemotherapeutic agents also have a risk of interfering with collateral development. OBSERVATIONS A 48-year-old woman with neurofibromatosis type 1 was admitted because of left hemiparesis and hemispatial neglect. Brain imaging studies revealed a large mass with peripheral enhancement in the right frontal lobe and occlusion of the bilateral middle cerebral arteries with an abnormal vascular network at the base of the brain. Total tumor resection was performed, and the pathological diagnosis was isocitrate dehydrogenase-mutant glioblastoma. Radiotherapy with a total dose of 60 Gy was delivered with concurrent temozolomide, and thereafter six cycles of adjuvant temozolomide were given. Progression of moyamoya vasculopathy without symptoms was observed after the completion of each of radiotherapy and adjuvant temozolomide. LESSONS The authors present the first adult case of glioblastoma with moyamoya vasculopathy. Careful consideration and attention should be given throughout treatment to avoiding moyamoya vasculopathy-related ischemic and hemorrhagic events. Although the patient did not exhibit neurological deterioration, progression of moyamoya vasculopathy occurred early after radiotherapy and continued thereafter.

Abstract
Moyamoya, a rare angiographic finding, is characterized by chronic and progressive stenosis at the terminal end of the internal carotid artery, followed by collateralization of the cerebral vasculature at the base of the skull. Coined by Suzuki and Takaku in 1969, the term "moyamoya" means a "puff of smoke" in Japanese, a reference to the angiographic appearance of moyamoya collateralization. Moyamoya is most commonly found in East Asian countries, where much governmental and civilian effort has been expended to characterize this unique disease process. However, despite its rarity, the occurrence of moyamoya in Western countries is associated with significant divergence regarding incidence, gender, sex, age at diagnosis, clinical presentation, and outcomes. Here, we attempted to review the Western literature on moyamoya presentation using the PubMed database to characterize the Western phenotype of moyamoya. We were guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR). We reviewed papers generated from a search with keywords "moyamoya case report," those reported from a Western institution, and those reported on a relevant association. Our scoping review demonstrated various clinical associations with moyamoya. Moreover, we summarized the demographic profile and clinical symptomatology, as well as reported disease associations to better elucidate the Western phenotype of moyamoya.

Abstract
RATIONALE Tumor resection and extracranial-intracranial bypass concerning medial sphenoid ridge meningioma associated with severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) of intracranial segments has been rarely presented. Effective treatment as to the complex lesions may be complicated. Tumor resection and cerebrovascular protection should be both taken into consideration. PATIENT CONCERNS We presented one case of medial sphenoid ridge meningioma associated with severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery of intracranial segments. The patient suffered hyperthyroidism, mirror-image dextrocardia and congenital heart disease atrial septal defect simultaneously. DIAGNOSES Before the neurosurgical treatment , the colleagues of department of cardiac surgery, anesthesiology and respiratory medicine agreed on our plan of resecting the tumor following the comprehensive evaluation of basal clinical conditions in the patient. For reducing the bleeding intraoperatively, the interventional branch performed digital subtraction angiography(DSA) and found collateral anastomosis between the supplying vessels of left middle meningeal arteries and anterior choroid arteries. No preoperative interventional embolization was determined considering the risk of cerebral ischemia. INTERVENTIONS The following subtotal resection of medial sphenoid ridge meningioma and left extracranial-intracranial bypass were carried out. Additionally, ipsilateral decompressive craniectomy was done. Post-operative imaging Computed tomography (CT), Computed tomography angiography (CTA) and Transcranial Doppler (TCD) indicated subtotal resection of tumor and bypass patency. OUTCOMES The patient was discharged with the right limbs of muscle strength of grade IV. The muscle strength of the patient returned to grade V after 6 months of follow-up. LESSONS Comprehensive treatment of tumor resection and extracranial-intracranial bypass concerning medial sphenoid ridge meningioma associated with severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery of intracranial segments is effective.
