Word!

[Brain Ablaze @BrainAblaze]

No one person or organization speaks for the whole #epilepsy community. Your story matters, as it might help others. Thank you for being here, supporting us, and sharing who you are. #EpilepsyAwareness

Today we honor every mind that served.

Veterans with a past brain injury face a higher long-term risk of stroke (Stroke, 2023).

To the veterans, survivors and caregivers in our TAAF family: thank you.

Worst headache of your life? Call 911.

Only about 4 in 10 brain aneurysm ruptures come with a warning sign first. Know the signs: a sudden, severe headache, stiff neck, nausea, vision changes, or passing out.

Sometimes the first sign of a brain AVM is a seizure. This #EpilepsyAwarenessMonth, if a seizure led you to an AVM diagnosis, you’re not alone. Learn more: https://t.co/l8ju1C5SnY #AVM #Seizure #TAAF

Their diagnosis changed your life, too. Here are four ways to find support while you’re supporting them. 🔖 Save it. Share it with someone who needs it. (Slide #5 i comments.) #CaregiverAppreciationMonth #UnitedWeCare #BrainAneurysm #AVM #Stroke

A spouse. A teenager. A parent. A neighbor. However you came to caregiving, thank you.

November is #CaregiverAppreciationMonth. All month, we’re honoring caregivers—their stories, their needs, and the people they are beyond the care they give.

A lung AVM—so why are we talking about the brain?

See the connection. Know what to ask. You belong in our TAAF family, too.

A ruptured brain aneurysm or AVM causes a hemorrhagic stroke, yet many survivors never hear it named that way. On #WorldStrokeDay, we’re making that connection clear. Both stroke types are emergencies. Call 911.

P.S. It’s also #NationalCatDay. 🐈‍⬛ #TAAF

Case Spotlight: Right Incidental Anterior Cerebral Artery Aneurysm
A 4 mm pericallosal aneurysm was treated with Stellar 74, providing reliable trackability and stability for controlled coil delivery in distal anatomy.

Thanks so much to @JNIS_BMJ & @NIH for their support. Through research & technology we can improve outcomes for our patients!

[Aaron Cohen-Gadol, MD @AaronCohenGadol]

Some of the most important surgical decisions are made before the procedure ever begins.

Planning means thinking through more than the operation itself. It means anticipating what structures need to be protected, where the greatest risks may be, what the realistic goals of treatment are, and how the approach may affect the patient afterward.

That level of preparation is part of how Atlas Institute approaches complex cases. We consider every recommendation in the context of the individual patient, not just the diagnosis on the chart.

If you’re weighing a treatment decision and want to better understand the reasoning behind your options, our team is here to help. Contact us today.

An #AVM doesn’t have to be in your brain to change your life.

Yesterday, the spine. Today, the face & limbs. Different locations, same need to be understood. You belong here.
