What is a Brain Vascular Lesion?
A brain vascular lesion is damage or an abnormality to any part of the brain. Causes can include inflammation, head trauma, and autoimmune diseases, among others. With each of these, the brain does not get blood the way that it should, altering its ability to function properly. Brain vascular lesions include but are not limited to arteriovenous malformation (AVM), brain aneurysm, and brain tumor.
How is a Brain Vascular Lesion Treated?
Treatment of brain vascular lesions depends on the type of lesion. Based on the lesion, medications, surgery, less invasive procedures, and rehab may be used.
