Other cerebrovascular diseases weaken the blood vessels feeding the brain and can result, if untreated, in hemorrhaging in the brain. Although the symptoms of a stroke can vary widely, certain signs may require immediate medical attention. A major focus of the Yale Cerebrovascular Center is stroke prevention. Patients who are thought to be at risk are evaluated in our offices in the Yale Physicians Building. One of the great strengths of the Center is the extensive experience the medical team has in diagnosing and treating rare abnormalities in blood vessels that can lead to a devastating stroke.
Early detection is vital.
