Neurosurgery
Neurovascular Services
The University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) offers advanced cerebrovascular neurosurgery using state-of-the-art technology, innovative research and the latest neurosurgical techniques. Our highly skilled team provides expert care for patients with neurovascular disorders affecting blood flow to the brain and spinal cord.
UMMC delivers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating stroke, brain aneurysms and other vascular conditions of the brain. We incorporate leading-edge interventional neuroradiology, advanced imaging and diagnostic procedures to ensure accurate evaluation and effective treatment.
Our specialists use minimally invasive endovascular techniques to treat complex vascular diseases of the brain. Conditions that once required open surgery -- such as brain aneurysms -- can now be treated with these innovative procedures.
A brain aneurysm, also calledan intracranial aneurysm or cerebral aneurysm, is a bulging, weakened area in a brain artery wall that can rupture, causing life-threatening bleeding. Our team provides advanced treatment options to reduce this risk and improve patient outcomes.
