MoyaMoya and Sleep Apnea
Jul 2nd, 2010 at 5:23pm
 
Sorry if someone posted about this topic before.  My Verizon has been giving me trouble and I have just about gave up on the internet with them.  However i am on a very slow dial-up right now and need some info.  Has anyone with moyamoya been diagnosed with sleep apnea.  I understand 90 percent of sleep apnea is obstructive...and 10 percent is central sleep apnea.  Central is caused from a lack of signal from the brain to the diaphram..it does not tell it to breathe after the apnea.  It can be caused from neurological diseases.  If anyone else has sleep apnea I'd appreciate some input.  Is it coman with moyamoya and what can be done?  Thanks for any comments and answers!

My Daughter Lindsey who has Moyamoya and Down Syndrome (surgery March 2010) was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea 9 years ago and uses a CPAP machine.  She does not go anywhere without her machine.  It has made a world of difference for her.  She did the sleep study and used the machine the 2nd night and she was sold.  She asked for a machine the very next day and has not stopped using it since.  She was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea.  Her airway is very small.  She also had to remove her tonsils and adenoids as well.

I don't know how it ties to Moyamoya or if it does at all.  My son who has Down Syndrome also was also diagnosed with sleep apnea and can't us the CPAP.  It puts air in his stomach and is very painful.  He does not sleep hardly at all.  We are in the process of testing him for Moyamoya because recently he is having episode very similar to his sister.  Cry

Good luck with your situation.
