Cerebrovascular

  • Brain Aneurysm

    A brain aneurysm, also called a cerebral aneurysm, is a weakened section of an artery in the brain.

  • Carotid Artery Disease

    Carotid artery disease occurs when one or both of the carotid arteries are narrowed or blocked with a waxy substance called plaque.

  • Arteriovenous Malformation

    An arteriovenous malformation sometimes called an AVM or brain AVM, is a defect in the vascular system. In a functioning vascular system,

  • Moya Moya Disease

    Moya Moya disease is a disorder of the brain vessels at the base of the skull that gradually narrow and can cause strokes

Stroke and neurovascular conditions are a significant challenge in modern day medicine.

While we know a great deal about the causes of these conditions, they are exceptionally difficult to diagnose during routine medical care. As such, when stoke and neurovascular conditions do arise, they are usually very sudden and often life-threatening or debilitating.

Neuro-Oncology

  • Brain Tumors

    A brain tumor is formed when a cluster of cells in the brain start to grow irregularly. Like other tumors, brain tumors may be cancerous or benign.

  • Meningioma

    Meningiomas, also called meningioma tumors, are the most common type of primary brain tumors.

  • Colloid Cyst

    A colloid cyst is a benign growth found in the brain. These cysts contain a gelatin-like material made up of bodily substances.

Neuro-system tumors involve the abnormal growth of cells in the brain or spine. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and symptoms, if any, may manifest differently in every patient. Malignant tumors in the brain may spread to other parts of the body just as tumors elsewhere can spread to the brain. Treatment is largely dependent on the origin of the tumor.

We do not know why most brain and spinal cord tumors form in adults. Nor are all tumors surgically treatable. The following are common neuro system tumors:

  • Spinal Tumors
  • Gliomas
