Spinal vascular lesions are rare yet treatable. Good patient outcomes depend on quick recognition of stepwise symptoms and referral to specialists who can use advanced imaging and other tests. UAB Department of Neurosurgery Assistant Professor, Jesse Jones, MD,  and UAB Department of Neurology Associate Professor, Will Meador, MD, discuss the most advanced diagnostic, treatment, and recovery techniques in neurosurgery. 

They reveal the pathologies of vascular lesions and closely related disorders, as well as the relative severity of these diagnoses. After explaining diagnostic methods, from simplest to most complex (i.e., spinal angiogram) methods, they describe surgical and endovascular approaches to treatment.
