When to Consult

  • Sudden, severe 'worst-ever' headache
  • Neck stiffness, vomiting or brief loss of consciousness
  • New weakness, speech trouble or seizures
  • Incidental aneurysm/AVM found on MRI/CTA/MRA
  • Recurrent headaches with bruit or past brain bleed
  • Family history of aneurysm, polycystic kidney disease or connective tissue disorder

Understanding Aneurysms & AVMs in the Indian Context

Brain aneurysms can rupture and cause subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a life-threatening emergency. AVMs are tangles of abnormal vessels that may bleed or cause seizures/headaches. In Hyderabad and Telangana, timely imaging and early securing of the lesion prevent disability and rebleed.

Our Hyderabad-first pathway coordinates neurosurgery, interventional neuroradiology and ICU care with multilingual counselling (Telugu, Hindi, Urdu, English) for families travelling from Warangal, Karimnagar and Nalgonda.

When to Consult Our Neurovascular Specialists

Seek urgent care if you notice:
  • ✓ Sudden, severe 'worst-ever' headache
  • ✓ Neck stiffness, vomiting or brief loss of consciousness
  • ✓ New weakness, speech disturbance or seizures
Book a routine consult if you have:
  • ✓ Incidental aneurysm/AVM seen on MRI/CTA/MRA
  • ✓ Family history of aneurysm or connective tissue disease
  • ✓ Recurrent headaches, pulsatile noise in ear or past bleed

Our Diagnostic Approach

Emergency CT ± CTA

Confirms bleed and locates culprit aneurysm; ICU bundle starts (airway, BP, pain, antiemetics).

MRI/MRA or DSA

Defines aneurysm neck/dome and AVM architecture (nidus, feeders, drainage) to plan clipping vs coiling and AVM resection ± embolisation.

Neurovascular Board Decision

Team selects the safest, most durable option considering age, anatomy and risks.

Pre-Op Optimisation

Vasospasm prophylaxis (nimodipine), seizure control and antiplatelet strategy if stents/flow diverters planned.

Treatment Pathways

  • Microsurgical Clipping
  • Endovascular Coiling / Flow Diversion
  • AVM Resection
  • AVM Embolisation (Staged)
  • Radiosurgery (Selected)
  • Neuro ICU & Vasospasm Management

What to Expect: Your Care Journey

Day 0: Imaging, stabilisation and aneurysm securing (clip/coil) in emergency cases.
Hospital Stay: ICU monitoring, vasospasm watch, early physiotherapy and counselling.
Follow-Up (2–6 weeks): Wound review, activity plan and imaging.
Long-Term (3–12 months): Occlusion checks and staged completion for AVMs if needed.

Technology & Innovation

  • Neuronavigation and surgical microscope
  • Intraoperative ICG fluorescence angiography
  • IONM for eloquent cortex/cranial nerve protection

Preventing Complications

We focus on vasospasm prevention, DVT prophylaxis, infection control and BP management. Education for red flags and medication adherence is reinforced at each visit.

Take the First Step

Call or WhatsApp 9010550550 for immediate guidance. Early treatment prevents rebleed and stroke.

Diagnosis Approach

1

Emergency CT ± CTA (Suspected SAH)

Confirm bleed and identify aneurysm; manage blood pressure and airway per neuro ICU protocol.

2

MRI/MRA or DSA Planning

Define dome/neck geometry, AVM nidus/feeding vessels and venous drainage for surgery vs coiling/embolisation decisions.

3

Multidisciplinary Neurovascular Board

Neurosurgery + interventional neuroradiology + anaesthesia decide clipping vs coiling, AVM resection ± staged embolisation.

4

Pre-Op Optimisation

Calcium-channel blockers for vasospasm prophylaxis, seizure control, antiplatelet planning if stents/flow diverters needed.

Treatment Options

Microsurgical Clipping (Aneurysm)

Craniotomy and clip placement to occlude the aneurysm neck, preserving parent vessels.

Durable occlusion, especially for broad-neck or complex geometry
2–4 hours; ICU monitoring post-op

Endovascular Coiling / Flow Diversion

Catheter-based coils, stents or flow diverters placed via femoral/radial route by interventional team.

Minimally invasive with fast recovery in suitable aneurysms
1–3 hours; antiplatelet therapy may be required

AVM Resection

Microscope-guided circumferential dissection with meticulous control of feeders and draining veins.

High cure rates for low-to-moderate Spetzler–Martin grades
3–6 hours; ICU observation

AVM Embolisation (Staged)

Endovascular glue/onyx to shrink nidus or treat high-risk feeders before surgery or radiosurgery.

Reduces operative blood loss and improves safety
Staged sessions; day-care/overnight

Radiosurgery (Selected)

Gamma/Cyber-knife for small/deep AVMs or residuals post-embolisation/resection.

Gradual nidus obliteration over 1–3 years
Outpatient; periodic imaging follow-up

Neuro ICU & Vasospasm Management

Nimodipine, euvolemia and targeted BP; TCD surveillance and endovascular rescue for vasospasm.

Lowers delayed ischemia after SAH
First 14–21 days post-bleed

Expected Outcomes

Treatment Timeline

0–24 Hours

Aneurysm secured (clip/coil) or AVM plan initiated; ICU monitoring

3–7 Days

Vasospasm watch, pain and BP control, early physio

4–6 Weeks

Return to light work in uncomplicated cases; follow-up imaging

3–12 Months

Occlusion check (DSA/MRA) and, for AVMs, staged completion or radiosurgery review

Success Metrics

  • Complete occlusion or resection without new disabling deficit
  • No rebleed during index admission
  • Return-to-work/school within planned window
