Generation Cures: Moyamoya is not a city in Japan

It's a state in your brain:
How do you win a kid's heart? Get into his head! That's just what Dr. Michael Scott did when he operated on David's brain. David has Moyamoya - sounds like a city in Japan, but it's really a rare disease where the blood vessels in his brain get so narrow that the brain can't get enough blood. Dr. Scott cut a window in David's skull (yup, it's true), then implanted a new artery in David's head that helps David's brain get the blood it needs. Guess you could call it hand-to-head combat!
