Hi JV,
Welcome to the board!
I was wondering what reasons your neurologist gives for the uncertainty of the classification of Moya Moya in your case. Also, does he/she suggest surgery as an option for you either now or in the future?
I have learned in my case and others that the TIA's are really a prelude to a stroke and I would hate to see someone have a stroke when it could have been prevented.
It is a great idea if you could e-mail and then send copies of your angio to Dr. Steinberg in California. You are correct in that it would be a great peace of mind!
Here's a stupid question for you.... what is a control? I would suppose it is some type of testing?
Good to meet you!
Lisa
