What Is Moyamoya Disease?
Our brains use more oxygen than any other organ, and they use around 20% of all of our oxygen intake. It needs this oxygen to help generate energy, and the brain needs to use a lot of energy. It is essential that this oxygen continues to be supplied, and this means a circulatory system that is in good working order.
