Hello.  About a year ago, I saw something on this board about someone hearing a train that wasn't actually there.  The person hearing the train sound learned that the noise was related to their MoyaMoya.  Now my 13 year old son with MoyaMoya is hearing the train sound.  Can anyone remember what the doctors said about the train sound?

I'm asking this because I reported the noise to my son's neurologist at CHOP, and she didn't seem concerned.  Then my son had his first 'horrible' migraine since he recovered from his surgery 4 years ago.  I'm worried that something may be going on with my son's MoyaMoya, and I'm hoping that someone can shed some light on the outcome of the other people hearing the train.

Thanks.

Hi Patti,

I usually remember posts, but darn if I can remember the one about a train noise, I’m sorry. I do however, remember many members explaining a sound, like Kim’s talking about, and they all explain it in a little different way. Here are some posts that I remember about the different sounds. In fact, I think I remember you asking about a heartbeat in the ears a while back that your daughter was hearing, and I think some of these posts address that as well. I sure hope it helps.

With all due respect, and for what it’s worth, I have to add that, from the stories I’ve heard over the past 5 years about the doctors here in Philly and CHOP, there’s no way on God’s green earth that I would put any trust in what the doctors say at CHOP regarding moyamoya.

Good Luck!

Your neighbor,
