Brain Aneurysm
A bulge in a brain blood vessel that can rupture. Often treated with minimally invasive techniques.
Find out moreDr Jeremy Lynch MBChB MRCS FRCR is a London-based Consultant specialising in minimally invasive treatment of vascular conditions of the brain and spine. He is dual trained in neurointervention (or endovascular neurosurgery) and diagnostic neuroradiology. His practice specialises in complex brain aneurysms, cerebral and spinal angiography, brain arteriovenous malformations, dural fistula, stroke, carotid stenosis, and pre-operative embolisation. He is the lead editor for the Oxford Handbook of Neurointervention.
Dr Lynch graduated in Medicine from the University of Bristol in 2007. After completing basic surgical training he specialised in interventional radiology and neuroradiology at leading London hospitals, followed by a competitive international fellowship in Toronto, where he was among the first in the world to gain experience in robotic endovascular techniques. He regularly authors peer-reviewed publications, is invited to speak at international conferences, and is an expert reviewer for major medical journals. Dr Lynch believes strongly in listening to patients and respecting their values and choices.

Treatments
Dural arteriovenous and carotico-cavernous fistulas
Abnormal artery to vein connections can affect brain function, hearing or vision. Treated using image-guided techniques to block the problem vessels.

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
Raised pressure around the brain that can cause headaches and visual symptoms. Managed with medication, weight management, and selected procedures.

CSF leaks
Low pressure in the brain (idiopathic intracranial hypotension) that causes postural headache. Treated with targeted blood patches and repair techniques.

Pulsatile Tinnitus
A rhythmic sound in the ear often caused by a blood vessel problem. We investigate the cause and offer targeted endovascular treatments.

Carotid Stenting
Narrowing of the neck artery that supplies the brain. We assess stroke risk and treat with stenting when appropriate.

Questions
Neurointervention is treatment of diseases of the brain and spine via minimally invasive endovascular image-guided techniques. The names neurointervention, interventional neuroradiology, and endovascular neurosurgery are all exactly the same. They are synonyms.
A referral is not required if self-paying. However, some medical insurances do require a referral for reimbursement. Please contact us or your medical insurance if you are unsure.
It is £250 for an in-person and £200 for an online/telephone consultation. Follow-up consultations are £200. Procedure fees are variable and described on this page.
We review your symptoms, medical history and any scans. We discuss options, agree a plan for tests or treatment, and leave time for your questions. You are welcome to bring a family member.
We can receive imaging via secure upload, IEP between NHS trusts, or on a CD or USB. Please include any radiology reports. Contact us for instructions.
We work with the major UK insurers. Please obtain pre-authorisation before booking and bring your membership and authorisation numbers to your appointment.
Yes. We offer video and telephone appointments when suitable. Imaging can be reviewed on screen and a plan agreed. In-person assessment may still be needed for some conditions and is recommended before major treatments are scheduled.
New consultations typically last about 30 minutes. Follow-up visits are often shorter. Complex cases may need more time. We schedule to suit your needs.
