There are many medicine branches related to the nervous system among which vascular neurology is defined in this article. Vascular neurology is the stuffy, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases of the nervous system. Neurology is a very wide field and a neurologist is the physician who treats the disorders of nervous systems. The vascular neurology comes under the branch of neurology and a vascular neurologist treats the patients suffering from disease and disorders in the arteries and veins in the nervous system.

 

 

Most diseases in the nervous systems occur in the muscle related to nervous system and in the veins and arteries. Diseased vessels and veins can generate great problems such as hemorrhage and stroke. Both diseases are life threatening because both affect our spinal cord and brain. Few decades ago there was a huge gap between the regular neurologist and some speciality neurologist. Few years ago very few doctors were able to diagnose and treat stroke, it was due to the lack of diagnostic techniques and treatment.

 

 

To cover this gap a new branch of medicine was introduced which was vascular neurology which are educated and expert in the diagnosis and treatment of stroke and other diseases which are in the veins of nervous systems.
The vascular neurologists are sometimes also called stroke doctors because it is true that in easy words they are stroke specialist. In United States intensive training programs of 2 to 3 years have been developed to convert a regular neurologist into a vascular neurologist. The vascular neurologists are certified physicians which are certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
