Description
We diagnose and treat a number of neurovascular conditions including:
Subarachnoid haemorrhage
A subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a sudden rupture of a blood vessel in the brain causing blood to leak onto the surface of the brain.
Cerebral aneurysm
A cerebral or intracranial aneurysm is a balloon-like swelling on an artery within the brain.
Familial cerebral aneurysms
Arteriovenous malformation
An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormality of the blood vessel network.
Cavernoma
A cavernoma is a malformation of blood vessels, often forming a small round cluster of abnormally enlarged blood vessels.
Hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus is the build up of excess fluid within the brain. This excess fluid leads to an increase of pressure on the brain.
Headache
Headaches are a common symptom that most people will experience at some time in their lives. However, following a subarachnoid haemorrhage or other neurological illness some individuals may experience ongoing chronic headaches which can be difficult to manage.
Epilepsy
A seizure or fit is a brief disruption of the brains normal electrical activity leading to a variety of symptoms.
