Major League Pitcher Thanks Neurosurgeon for Life-Saving Diagnosis
While the Seattle Mariners are flexing their spring training muscle in Peoria, Ariz.,
pitcher Anthony Vasquez is working on his game. After a bout with blurred
vision and frequent headaches, an MRI revealed that Vasquez was suffering from
arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in his brain. Dr. Robert Spetzler, director of
the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, performed a six-hour surgery to
fix the problem. Three months later, Vasquez is glad to be back on the baseball
field. Click here to read the full story.
