Organized by
Founded in 2018, the Moyamoya Foundation is a disease focused 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation. Our focus is on moyamoya disease which is a rare progressive disease in which the arteries supplying the brain with blood (the internal carotid arteries and intracranial branches) narrow and collateral vessels called "moyamoya vessels" develop. Moyamoya patients are at increased risk for stroke, among other neurological complications. Currently there is no cure for moyamoya disease and the typical intervention for moyamoya patients is revascularization surgery.
