Join Mr. Edward Smith, Vice-Chair of Neurosurgery at Boston Children's Hospital and Professor of Neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School, in this enlightening video segment. Medical professionals from Great Ormond Street in London and Boston Children's Hospital are featured as they discuss their collaborative efforts to tackle rare and complex conditions leading to strokes and bleeding in children's brains. This video sheds light on the challenges of studying uncommon cases and underscores the crucial need to pool knowledge and expertise from two of the world's leading medical centers.
The speakers emphasize the unique collaboration between the United Kingdom and the United States, bringing together specialists from diverse fields, including neurosurgery, interventional radiology, neurology, and anesthesia. Their collective goal is to understand and find innovative treatments for rare conditions that pose a significant threat to children's lives.
A major focus of the collaboration is on conditions like Moya Moya, where blood vessels supplying the brain become narrowed, creating a mismatch between the growing brain's needs and the body's blood supply. The video delves into the challenges posed by this condition and the ongoing research to develop effective treatment strategies.
The speakers, including Mr. Edward Smith, further discuss another critical area of focus: arterial venous malformation (AVM), a condition where children are born with a tangle of blood vessels in their brains. The collaborative group aims to understand the formation of AVMs and explore surgical and non-surgical interventions to prevent life-threatening bleeding.
The video concludes by addressing the importance of listening to patients and their families, emphasizing their concerns and experiences in shaping research priorities. The ultimate goal of this collaborative effort, led by Mr. Edward Smith, is to advance medical knowledge, develop new treatments, and improve the lives of children facing these rare neurological conditions.
