Baylor Scott & White Neurosurgery and Spine Associates

Stroke is a major cause of death and disability in the United States.  

Most strokes are caused by the blockage of a blood vessel supplying the brain, and these usually occur in older patients.  Other strokes are caused by the rupture of a blood vessel abnormality, such as an aneurysm, and these may occur at any age.  The medical literature reveals that hospitals which care for a high volume of patients with ruptured aneurysms provide better patient outcomes than low volume hospitals.

Our neurosurgeons work with a highly experienced team of stroke neurologists, interventional neuroradiologists, neuro critical care physicians and rehabilitation specialists.  Together they strive to provide the best care possible to each patient with an aneurysm or other cerebrovascular disorder.
