Cerebrovascular surgery treats conditions of the brain's blood vessels — aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations and haemorrhagic stroke — while skull base surgery addresses tumours in the complex bony corridors beneath the brain. Both are among the most demanding fields in neurosurgery. Dr. Arun Reddy M trained in exactly this sub-specialty at Fujita Health University, Japan, one of the world's recognised centres for microsurgical precision — a fellowship credential rare among Hyderabad neurosurgeons.
Brain aneurysms
An aneurysm is a weakened bulge on a brain artery; rupture causes a life-threatening haemorrhage classically felt as the worst headache of one's life. Unruptured aneurysms found on scans are risk-assessed by size, shape and location — options span observation, microsurgical clipping and endovascular treatment, chosen case by case with honest discussion of trade-offs.
Arteriovenous malformations and haemorrhage
AVMs are abnormal tangles connecting arteries directly to veins, which can bleed or cause seizures. Spontaneous brain haemorrhage from hypertension or vascular anomalies is triaged urgently: many are managed medically in neuro-ICU, while accessible clots with pressure effect need surgical evacuation. Fellowship-level vascular judgement lies in knowing which is which.
Skull base tumours
Meningiomas, schwannomas (including acoustic neuromas) and pituitary-region tumours grow in tight corridors surrounded by cranial nerves and major arteries. Skull base technique uses tailored bony approaches and the operating microscope to reach these lesions with minimal brain retraction — supported by 3D DICOM neuronavigation for millimetre-level planning around critical structures.
The Fujita fellowship difference
Japanese cerebrovascular neurosurgery is renowned for immaculate microsurgical technique — bloodless dissection, meticulous vessel handling and disciplined operative planning. Dr. Reddy's Fellowship in Cerebrovascular & Skull Base Surgery at Fujita Health University immersed him in this standard, which now anchors his vascular and skull base practice in Hyderabad.
Where treatment happens
These conditions are managed at CARE Hospitals, HITEC City (Gachibowli), with emergency imaging, neuro-intensive care, and operating theatres equipped for microsurgery. For non-urgent opinions — an incidental aneurysm on a scan, a skull base tumour diagnosis — consultations run Mon–Sat, with scan review available through this website. Emergencies should go directly to hospital.
