Victor-Moyamoya Disease-(Brazil)
Name:Victor Bernardo Cardillo 
Sex: Male
Country: Brazil
Age: 13
Diagnosis: Moyamoya Disease
Victor Bernardo Cardillo, a 13 years old boy, suffers from Moyamoya Disease for over 4 years, impeding his left-side movement with adverse physical restrictions for the last two years. He submitted himself into our care and under our treatment he experienced some great improvements in his condition.
Before the Treatment
Starting in 2005, Victor would experience regular headaches. At that point he could control them with oral medications. On a number of occasions he visited pediatricians and ophthalmologists, who unfortunately could not provide a proper diagnosis for him. Later on, his aches became more severe. On Feb. 7th 2007 Victor was experiencing severe headaches during class, even though he fought these aches with strong pain medication. Later on this day he passed out during his geometry class. From that day on he felt often very sleepy. During the next two months he did a series of tests and examinations, but without any success. On April 5th a cerebral angiography was performed, confirming the suspected diagnosis of Moyamoya disease. During the course of Moyamoya Victor was suffering from seizures, which he controlled with anti-epileptic medicine. He also experienced extreme weakness in his left side, because of which he wasn't able to walk properly or to lift his arm over shoulder height.
After the Treatment
Our treatment was very successful with Victor. Our treatment managed to increase the strength of his left side, leg and arm in particular, significantly. He now manages to lift his arm above his head. He also has better balance due to returned strength in his leg. His overall circulation was greatly improved which provides him with more energy and also reduced the occurrence of headaches and acute weakness which otherwise might have led to passing out again. The chances of new seizures have been significantly reduced as well.
