It was our pleasure to host interventional neuroradiologists, surgeons and neurologists from Singapore, Siriraj Hospital and the region for the three-day joint SiNNI Neurovascular Course. The collaboration brought together clinician educators and trainees from both healthcare institutions to share their knowledge and expertise.

From case discussions to hands-on sessions, topics included the causes, mechanisms and medical management of stroke, complications of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) treatment, and anatomy of the posterior circulation.

Participants had the opportunity to interact with experienced faculty members like Prof Anchalee Churojana, Dr Wickly Lee, Dr Julian Han, Dr Joanna Pearly Ti, Clin Asst Prof Saravana Kumar Swaminathan, and Asst Prof Pattarawit Withayasuk.

Thank you to all speakers, participants and partners for contributing to these meaningful discussions. We look forward to future collaborations to advance care of complex neurovascular conditions.
