What Is Moyamoya?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
The brain is an astonishingly powerful biological machine, and is the most advanced machine that we are aware of in the entire universe. As something so powerful, however, it also needs a lot of fuel. For the brain, this fuel means a lot of nutrients from the food we eat, and also oxygen from the air we breathe.
Supplying this fuel is not usually a problem as our brains are well served by an extensive system of blood vessels. If something was to go wrong with this network, however, then our brain will not get the fuel that it needs. There are numerous potential things that can go wrong and moyamoya disease is one of them.
