Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM)
Arterio-venous malformations (AVMs) are complex tangles of abnormal blood vessels within the brain that can disrupt normal blood flow and cause the risk of haemorrhagic stroke. As these malformations vary significantly between patients, careful individualised assessment is essential.
Dr Fairhall provides evaluation and tailored management options, which may include surgery or radiosurgery depending on the AVM’s size, location, and risk profile. With extensive experience in cerebrovascular surgery, Dr Fairhall offers patients a comprehensive overview of treatment choices, focusing on minimising risks and optimising outcomes.
Aneurysm
A brain aneurysm is a weakened area on the wall of a blood vessel, most commonly located at the base of the brain. The discovery of an aneurysm can often be a frightening experience for patients, whether found incidentally or following a rupture.
Dr Fairhall provides thorough and personalised assessments within a multidisciplinary cerebrovascular team setting to determine the best course of action. When surgery is recommended, it is performed using minimally invasive techniques whenever appropriate. Dr Fairhall is committed to guiding patients and their families through this complex diagnosis with care and expert advice.
Steno-Occlusive Disease
Steno-occlusive disease is caused by the narrowing of blood vessels in the neck, at the base of the brain, or within the brain itself. In some cases, these narrowing may be severe enough to cause or threaten a stroke.
Conditions such as moyamoya disease may require revascularisation through procedures like extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery, while carotid artery narrowing due to atherosclerosis may be treated surgically to restore blood flow. Dr Fairhall provides experienced assessment and management of steno-occlusive disease, tailoring each treatment plan to the underlying cause and the patient’s specific needs.
