Both Ryan and Tyler, 8, have a rare brain disorder called Moyamoya disease, in which the internal carotid arteries become narrowed, slowing the flow of blood to their brains. Without surgery, Moyamoya poses a five-year stroke risk of 60 to 90 percent.
In June, 2013, Ryan and Tyler had their back-to-back Moyamoya operations—one on the right side of Ryan’s brain, and one on each side of Tyler’s.
“A major consideration was that both sides could be done at the same time,” says David. “Dr. Smith operated in the morning, Dr. Scott in the afternoon.”
Today, at their one-year check-up, Smith shares the results of the boys’ follow-up brain angiograms. Both show healthy vessels and blood flow, and both Tyler and Ryan have an excellent prognosis.
