Neurosurgery team untangles rare brain disorder
Rehabilitation puts young patient on track to normalcy
Eleven-year-old Mikey is happy to be running again. He is not as fast as he used to be, but considering he woke up from emergency brain surgery unable to speak or walk, he'll take it.
Mikey suffered from a stroke, the result of a ruptured arteriovenous malformation (AVM) - often described as a "tangle of blood vessels." The UHealth Jackson team of neurosurgeons has contributed extensively to international medical literature on cerebral and spinal AVMs. The team is at the forefront of surgical treatments for cerebrovascular disorders, as well as hard-to-treat tumors at the base of the skull in children and adults.
Mikey's recovery also includes intensive rehabilitation at the Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at UHealth/Jackson Memorial.
