He was born with 2 holes in his heart and we were told by the neurosurgeon that people born with DS who also have heart problems are at a higher risk for Moyamoya. I haven't heard any relation between Moyamoya and ASD though.

But I didn't know about the heart risk. Kathleen was also born with a small hole in her heart. Luckily it closed almost to nothing just before she was diagnosed with MM. Interesting... Mary Grace

Hi Mary Grace,

Christopher had open heart surgery at 4 months old to close the VSD, the other hole closed on its own. The neurosurgeon told us about the higher risk of those with ds and heart issues, his cardiologist never even heard of MM before Christopher!

I'm assuming there is still so much even the MM drs don't know about this disease! Just having DS there is so many risks for other diseases, it is pretty scary!
