In this malformation, the lower processes of the little brain (cerebellum) sags from the main opening in the skull base where the spinal cord leaves the brain and compresses the spinal cord. Congenital malformation of the space where the cerebellum lies is thought to cause these problems in later years. Patients present with severe headache,...
Organs are made of tissues and tissues are made of cells. Cancer starts within the cells. Normally, cells grow and reproduce when necessary. They die when they get older and new cells are produced for their place. Sometimes, this process starts to function abnormally. New cells start to reproduce uncontrollably even though the body does...
Brain hemorrhage is bleeding into the brain due to a ruptured artery in the brain. Brain is located inside the skull, which is not a flexible structure. So when bleeding occurs, the brain is compressed by the pressure caused by the incoming fluid, leading to serious life-threatening conditions like coma. How can we be sure...
Brain hemorrhage is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation that occurs due the disruption of complex and dense vessel network and leaking of blood around or into the brain. Patients with hypertension and diabetes, beware.. Brain hemorrhages are caused by ruptured vascular anomalies in the vessel network of the brain lie vessel balloons (aneurysms) or...
Ballooning due to the weakness of the muscle layer of a brain vessel is called a brain aneurysm. This ballooning causes weakening and thinning of the vessel wall. Bleeding into the brain tissue caused by rupturing of the vessel from the weak spot is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage. This type of bleeding can result in...

Patients benefit more from surgery with proper timing. Treatments after a certain period of disease may alleviate pain but other symptoms of disease like numbness and weakness can take time to recover. Therefore,...
Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are the forming of “tangles” of vessels between arteries and veins of the brain with certain connections that aren’t normally supposed to occur. This is a disorder comes with birth and the cause is unknown. Arteriovenous malformations may stay silent for years without any sign or symptoms. However, sometimes brain hemorrhage due...
In this kind of bleedings, one of the big arteries in the base of the brain ruptures. The leaking blood spreads through the brain and into the cerebrospinal fluid. The reason behind most of the subarachnoid hemorrhages is the rupture of an existing aneurysm (vessel balloon) in the brain. The walls of these aneurysms are...
