Brain Angiography Treatment in India

Sneha Das, a 42-year-old software engineer and mother of two, had been experiencing sudden, severe headaches for three weeks. A vibrant woman who enjoyed yoga and family hikes, she became increasingly worried when she developed blurred vision and a persistent ringing in her right ear. Her primary care physician, concerned about the sudden onset, ordered an MRI which revealed a suspicious tangle of blood vessels in her brain, a possible arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Her neurosurgeon, Dr. Kapoor, recommended a cerebral angiography to get a detailed, dynamic map of the blood vessels feeding and draining the AVM, crucial for planning safe treatment. Sneha was terrified; the word 'brain' filled her with dread for her future and her children. The procedure itself, under local anesthesia, was painless but strange, she felt pressure and warmth as the contrast dye was injected. Afterward, she had to lie flat for six hours with a sandbag on her groin to prevent bleeding, which was frustrating but manageable. The results provided a clear roadmap, showing the AVM was operable. The immense relief of having a definitive answer and a treatment plan replaced her fear with cautious optimism. She felt empowered to face the next steps, grateful for the precise technology that offered her a chance at a full life.
