Welcome to this Website by neurosurgeon Vini G. Khurana PhD FRACS.
This Site is dedicated to promoting public awareness of diseases of brain blood vessels, including brain aneurysm, cerebral vasospasm, arteriovenous malformation or AVM, carotid artery disease, cavernous malformation or cavernoma, venous angioma, capillary telangiectasia, neurovascular compression syndromes, and more. The Site comprehensively covers both patient-care and research aspects of many brain vascular disorders including brain aneurysm, AVM and cavernoma. It is intended to be a valuable resource for brain surgery, brain aneurysm, and brain hemorrhage patients and their families, and also for physicians and allied health specialists interested in brain aneurysm, AVM, cavernoma, and other brain blood vessel disorders. This growing Website has valuable, reader-friendly information, illustrations, images, books, references and links relevant to cerebrovascular disorders including brain aneurysm, AVM and cavernoma. There is also a comprehensive brain aneurysm image bank included for brain aneurysm patients.
Please read the Site Mission and Disclaimer notices. Hyperlinks to the Home, Contents, What's New and Feedback pages appear at the top of each page throughout the Website.
