What is Neurovascular 

Neurovascular epilepsy is a medical condition that involves seizures resulting from vascular abnormalities in the brain, such as blood vessel malformations, strokes, or other circulatory issues. This specialty focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing epilepsy that arises due to these vascular factors. It often requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists, and other specialists, to determine the most appropriate treatment. Therapies may include medication to control seizures, surgical interventions to address underlying vascular issues, and sometimes radiation therapy, tailored to the specific needs of the patient for optimal management of the condition.
