After ischemic stroke occurred at 9 years old, indirect surgical revascularization was performed for the left cerebral hemisphere and improved ischemic symptoms and cerebral hypoperfusion, while the left choroidal anastomosis remained. At 13 years old, he presented with left thalamic hemorrhage attributed to the anterior choroidal artery, with rebleeding observed four days after the initial hemorrhage under strict blood pressure control.
