On this page
Brain Aneurysm Wiki is a reference on brain aneurysm: what it is, how it is diagnosed and treated, and what the research shows. It is a project by Dr. Kamran Aghayev, a neurosurgeon in Istanbul, who edits the site and is responsible for what it publishes.
Who the site is for
The pages are written for people who have been told they may have brain aneurysm, for the people supporting them, and for clinicians who want a sourced summary. Each page should be readable without medical training and precise enough to check against the studies it cites.
The editor
Dr. Kamran Aghayev is a neurosurgeon in Istanbul and an associate professor of neurosurgery, with more than 20 years in practice. He trained in neurosurgery at Hacettepe University in Ankara, completed spinal oncology and neuro-oncology fellowships at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida, and taught there as a clinical instructor before returning to Turkey. He chaired the neurosurgery department at Biruni University in Istanbul from 2017 to 2020. His published work includes a surgical technique for jugular vein decompression in atlanto-styloid compression and the PURED operation for thoracic outlet syndrome, and he is a named inventor on 13 U.S. patents for spinal devices.
How the site relates to Dr. Aghayev's practice
Dr. Aghayev treats patients privately, and his practice website, kamranaghayev.com, describes his clinical work. The two sites have different jobs. Brain Aneurysm Wiki sets out what is known, including where studies and specialists disagree. His practice site carries his own clinical positions and his treatment information. When a page here gives his opinion, it appears in a box labeled as his view, separate from the summary of the evidence.
Because Dr. Aghayev treats patients with conditions covered here, he has an interest in readers finding his practice. The site carries no advertising, sponsorship or paid links. It links to his practice only where a reader may want his clinical view or a consultation.
What "wiki" means here
The name describes the format: a set of linked reference pages on a single subject. The site isn't open for public editing, and it isn't affiliated with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation.
