Michigan Head and Spine Institute is proud to share the recent news of fellow Neurosurgeon Dr. Mark Goldberger, for saving the life of a 19-year-old Eddie Constantineau of Sterling Heights. Eddie suffered a stroke and brain hemorrhage caused by a ruptured arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in his brain. What started as a routine day of lifting weights led to a potentially catastrophic visit to the emergency room.
Upon reaching Henry Ford Macomb Hospital, Dr. Goldberger intervened quickly to remove the AVM and stop the hemorrhage in Eddie’s brain. Following successful surgery, Eddie remained at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital for the next month to complete his miraculous recovery. Follow up surgery was also performed by Dr. Goldberger after Eddie completed rehabilitation. The patient was also referred to Dr. Pradeep Setty for a Gamma Knife procedure to prevent any recurrence.
Congratulations, Dr. Goldberger!
