Arteriovenous malformation Treatment in Town Hospital
About the clinic
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) care at Town Hospital in New Cairo, Egypt, includes brain imaging, catheter treatment, and neurosurgery. A Philips bi-plane cath-lab supports cerebral procedures, alongside 3-Tesla MRI and 128-slice CT for assessment.
AVM diagnosis with 3-Tesla MRI
Assessment can involve a neurosurgeon or interventional radiologist. The clinic offers these diagnostic services:
- Brain CT scan: A 128-slice scan can serve as the first step to identify bleeding.
- 3-Tesla MRI: MRI is available for brain imaging.
- Cerebral catheter angiography: This vascular imaging can be used when an arterial malformation is suspected.
- Laboratory and imaging services: These are available around the clock.
AVM treatment with catheterization and neurosurgery
Dr. Mostafa Farid is a consultant in interventional radiology and cerebral catheterization. He authored an educational video series about AVM symptoms and diagnosis.
- Cerebral endovascular intervention: A catheter passes through the brain’s blood vessels to treat a cerebrovascular malformation from inside the vessels. The procedure uses the Philips bi-plane cath-lab.
- Neurosurgical treatment: The neurosurgery department treats neurovascular disorders with microsurgery and neuro-navigation. Prof. Dr. Osama El Ghannam heads the department.
Neurosurgery takes place in capsule-system operating theatres designed to meet modern infection-control standards. Town Hospital lists ESMO and ASCO among its accreditations. Patients can request an AVM consultation through Bookimed.

Accreditations and Achievements
The hospital holds accreditations from ESMO and ASCO. It is also recognized among Leading Hospitals. Town Hospital was the first facility in Egypt to perform stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) for drug-resistant epilepsy.
Neurosurgery and Neurology
Professor Dr. Osama El Ghannam heads the neurosurgery department. The team uses microsurgical and neuro-navigation techniques for complex brain and spine procedures. Specialists treat various conditions:
- Drug-resistant epilepsy using the SEEG program
- Brain and central nervous system tumors
- Pituitary adenomas via endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery
- Herniated discs and chronic spine pain
- Aneurysm coiling and vascular interventions
The epilepsy program brings together Egyptian and Indian specialists, including Dr. Nitchan and Dr. Ahmed El-Qeai. For facial nerve palsy, the hospital reports an 85% full recovery rate when treatment begins within 72 hours. A dedicated EEG and EMG unit supports neurology services for precise nerve damage assessment.
Cardiology and Vascular Care
The cardiology department covers everything from diagnostic evaluation to long-term follow-up. Physicians manage hypertension, valve disease, and vascular disorders. A Philips bi-plane cath-lab supports coronary and cerebral interventions. Vascular specialists treat varicose veins using endovenous radiofrequency ablation (EVRF) and laser techniques.
Diagnostic Technologies
Town Hospital has an on-site diagnostic center available 24 hours a day. High-resolution imaging supports accurate surgical planning. Key equipment includes:
- 3-Tesla MRI
- 128-slice CT scanner
- Digital X-ray and 4D ultrasound
- 24-hour Holter monitoring and stress ECG
- Electromyography (EMG) and EEG for nerve studies
Operating theaters use capsulated theatre concepts to meet international infection control standards. Digital ID pass controls and restricted entry protocols protect critical overnight service areas.
Services for International Patients
A dedicated team assists patients from Libya, Saudi Arabia, and other regions. Patients can receive a remote medical evaluation via WhatsApp before traveling. This includes a review of medical reports and scans to provide a preliminary treatment plan. Multilingual online appointment booking helps streamline the arrival process.
