Diseases that are treated in our department:

Cerebral arterial aneurysms (saccular, dissectional, fusiform):

  • hemorrhage due to aneurysm rupture (SAH, intracerebral hematoma, ventricular bleeding, subdural hematoma)
  • nonruptured aneurysms (incidental)
  • aneurysms with mass-effect (space occupying lesion)

Supratentorial and cerebellar hypertensive hemorrhage (intracerebral hematoma, ventricular bleeding)

  • intracerebral stroke-hematoma,
  • ventricular hemorrhage

Brain and spinal cord arteriovenous malformations (AVM)

  • AVM bleeding (SAH, intracerebral hematoma, ventricular bleeding, subdural hematoma)
  • AVM causing symptomatic epilepsy
  • incidental AVM

Cerebral cavernomas (supratentorial and brainstem)

  • hemorrhage (intracerebral hematoma)
  • cavernomas causing symptomatic epilepsy
  • incidental cavernomas

Carotid-cavernous fistulas (posttraumatic, spontaneous )

Dural fistulas of the brain and spinal cord

  • hemorrhages (subarachnoid hemorrhage, membrane hematomas)
  • without hemorrhage (pulsatile noise, pseudotumor)

Stenotic lesions of cerebral arteries

  • extracranial segments of carotid and vertebral arteries
  • intracranial segments of cerebral arteries (internal carotid, middle cerebral, vertebral and basilar arteries)

Chronic total occlusion of carotid artery

Dissection of cerebral arteries

Stenotic lesions of brachiocephalic trunk and subclavian artery, subclavian steal syndrome

Hydrocephalus

  • obstructive hydrocephalus (ventricular bleeding, posterior fossa haemorrhage)
  • communicating hydrocephalus (consequence of intracranial haemorrhage)

Carotid body paraganglioma (chemodectoma )

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension caused by transverse sinus stenosis

Kimmerle anomaly

Bleeding in a brain tumors

Highly vascularize tumors of brain, of head and neck soft tissues

  • embolization before surgical resection

Malignant tumors of brain, of head and neck soft tissues and of retina (retinoblastoma)(regionalal superselective chemotherapy)

Diagnostic procedures

selective cerebral angiography (transfemoral and transradial approach)
