Vascular Neurologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases, which affect the blood vessels in the brain. These diseases include stroke, aneurysm, and vascular malformation. Vascular Neurologists use a variety of techniques to diagnose and treat these conditions, including physical examination, imaging tests, and surgery.
