  Strokes occur when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, causing brain cells to die from a lack of oxygenated blood. If you suspect a stroke, call 911.

  Epilepsy is a brain disorder that can cause temporary confusion, staring spells, uncontrollable jerking motions of the arms and legs and unconsciousness.
  
  
• Neuroendovascular disorders
  Neuroendovascular disorders are conditions affecting the blood vessels in the brain and spine that may require specialized treatment. These include stroke, aneurysm, arteriovenous malformations, arteriovenous fistulas of the brain and spine, atherosclerosis and other vascular disorders that impact blood flow within the nervous system.
  
  
• Neurotrauma
  Neurotrauma refers to injuries affecting the brain or nervous system, where time is critical. In these cases, rapid evaluation and treatment are essential to prevent brain damage, paralysis or even death.

  Headaches are a form of pain or discomfort in the head that can differ widely in location, severity, duration and frequency, with each person experiencing symptoms in their own way.

Brain & Tumor Conditions

• Gliomas
  A glioma is a tumor that forms in the brain or spinal cord. It develops in the supportive glial cells, which surround nerve cells and help them function properly.
  
  
• Brain tumors
  Brain tumors develop due to abnormalities in genes that control cell growth, causing cells to grow beyond normal limits. While many tumors form this way, some individuals may develop brain tumors even without identifiable genetic abnormalities within their family.
  
  
• Pituitary tumors
  Pituitary tumors are growths that begin in the pituitary gland, a small gland located below the brain and above the nasal passages. This gland sits within a small bony space called the sella turcica.

Spine & Spinal Cord Conditions

• Spinal cord injury
  A spinal cord injury occurs when there is damage to the spinal cord or the nerves at the end of the spinal canal, often causing permanent impairment in strength, sensation, and the ability to function below the site of injury.
  
  
• Spine
  Spine injury involves damage to the vertebrae or surrounding tissues. Injuries, infections, tumors, or age-related changes can affect its structure and function.
