Cerebrovascular surgery — aneurysms, AVMs and bypass
A brain aneurysm is a weak, ballooned segment of an artery in the brain; when it ruptures it causes a life-threatening bleed. Dr. Shyam completed a dedicated cerebrovascular and bypass fellowship under Prof. Yoko Kato in Japan — one of the world’s foremost aneurysm surgeons — and treats the complete range of vascular conditions of the brain.
Conditions treated
- Ruptured and unruptured brain aneurysms — microsurgical clipping
- Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)
- Cavernomas
- Dural arteriovenous fistulas
- Carotid artery stenosis — carotid endarterectomy
- Moyamoya disease — cerebral revascularisation and bypass
Why timing matters
A sudden, worst-ever headache — often described as a thunderclap — can signal aneurysm rupture and needs emergency evaluation. Unruptured aneurysms found on scans deserve a calm, expert assessment: many can simply be observed, while others are best secured electively. Dr. Shyam will give you an honest recommendation either way.
