Conditions We Treat at Interventional Neuroradiology
At our center, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of cerebrovascular disorders and other conditions affecting the brain and spinal cord. These types of conditions can occur with little to no warning – our response to your needs is immediate and has the advantage of a multidisciplinary team of neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists, and other specialists collaborating to determine the most appropriate and safest treatment plan for your specific condition.
Our team's expertise includes:
Brain Dural Fistulae
Brain dural fistulae are abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the dura mater of the brain, which can cause changes in blood flow and lead to headaches, seizures, or other brain-related problems.
Spine Dural Fistulae
Spine dural fistulae are abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the dura mater of the spinal cord, which can cause changes in blood flow and lead to weakness, numbness, or other spine-related problems.
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disorder in which pressure inside the skull is elevated without an identifiable cause, often leading to headaches and vision problems.
Spontaneous Intracranial Hypertension
Spontaneous intracranial hypertension (SIH) is a type of secondary headache caused by a leak of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or by a CSF-venous fistula near the nerve root sheath.
Pulsatile Tinnitus
Pulsatile tinnitus is a rare form of tinnitus, often a symptom of vascular disease.
Aneurysms are weakened bulging blood vessels.
Intracranial Aneurysms
Intracranial aneurysms are weak spots in brain blood vessels that may bulge or rupture.
Cerebral Aneurysms
Cerebral aneurysms are another name for brain aneuryms.
Arteriovenous malformations are abnormal tangles of blood vessels.
Brain Arteriovenous Malformations
Brain arteriovenous malformations are abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the brain that may cause bleeding.
Arteriovenous Malformations
Arteriovenous malformations are tangled blood vessels that can occur in the brain or spine.
Spinal Arteriovenous Malformations
Spinal arteriovenous malformations are abnormal blood vessel connections in the spinal cord.
Moyamoya Disease
Moyamoya disease is a narrowing of brain arteries that causes fragile new vessels to form.
Artery narrowing results in reduced blood flow to the brain.
Carotid and Intracranial Stenosis
Carotid and intracranial stenosis is a narrowing of blood vessels in the neck or brain that can lead to stroke.
Carotid Artery Disease
Carotid artery disease is a narrowing of arteries in the neck affecting blood flow to the brain.
A stroke is caused when blood flow to the brain is blocked or disrupted by bleeding vessels.
Ischemic Stroke
An ischemic stroke is caused by a blockage cutting off blood flow to part of the brain.
Hemorrhagic Stroke
A hemorrhagic stroke is caused by bleeding inside the brain.
Subdural Hematoma
A subdural hematoma is bleeding between the brain and its outer protective layer.
