No thankfully not, sounds really f***ing serious thoughAnyone on here had a brain aneurysm, or had someone close to them had a one ?
Preferably of a size where you were given options as what to do going forward and if so what did you decide ?

Sorry I did not explain fully it's not me it's the missus, still chewed over it obviously, really don't know what to do for the best, don't think she does either.Hope you're ok mate
Really hope she'a ok then mateSorry I did not explain fully it's not me it's the missus, still chewed over it obviously, really don't know what to do for the best, don't think she does either.
Ahhhh no man so sorry to hear that, it'll be a lot for her (and you) to take in my love.Sorry I did not explain fully it's not me it's the missus, still chewed over it obviously, really don't know what to do for the best, don't think she does either.
My missus (no) has one and has had for some years. Annual scans and it freaks the hell out of every medical person she encounters, but no ill effects and no changes on the scans for best part of a decade (including two kids), so fingers crossed nothing changes. A lot depends on size, location, and even the shape of the malformation.Sorry I did not explain fully it's not me it's the missus, still chewed over it obviously, really don't know what to do for the best, don't think she does either.
I wouldn't wish deep-brain surgery on anyone. There's a reason most aneurysms are treated non-surgically.Probably a bit of surgery to fix it TBF. Wouldn't fancy leaving it and hoping for the best.
Best wishes to your missus, hope she gets well soon.
Fair enough, I know nowt about them tbh, was just trying to keep things light.My missus (no) has one and has had for some years.

But for balance, I also had a friend die of one rupturing at age 18. Anything else might be better handled via PM, but I'm happy to discuss publicly if you prefer.

Yeah our lass has a friend who's relative had the same happen, she actually went on to develop a 2nd aneurysm and had that treated successfully anarl. Then on the other hand we were talking to another friend of ours who has a mate who opted to have his aneurysm treated and he's now in a wheelchair.A tenant of mine had one , ruptured on way back from pub .

Made full recovery which is great, plus he’s still paying rent which is a bonus !
Only you and you good missus can decide mate.
Hope whatever you decide goes well.
The neurosurgeon who our lass is under is based at the RVISorry mate not the same thing I know but a few years ago my mam had a non cancerous brain tumour which was operated on at RVI and she received tremendous care and made a full recovery.
I have 3. Big bassas as well. Nowt they can do.Anyone on here had a brain aneurysm, or had someone close to them had a one ?

It’s a mesh sleeve they do now. One thing they tell you is every single case is different with its own risks.Yeah our lass has a friend who's relative had the same happen, she actually went on to develop a 2nd aneurysm and had that treated successfully anarl.

The neurosurgeon who our lass is under is based at the RVIShe has not actually been there yet as the initial scan she had was at Durham and that's all he needed to see to discuss it. Guess if she opts for surgery that's where it would be.
My mam was initially seen at Sunderland general. We wrongly assumed she had been hitting the drink hard as she had in past but it was the tumour making her behaviour unusual. Was about 10 days from being admitted to Sunderland to having the surgery at the RVI and a few days being monitored afterwards. My sister is a nurse and can be a pain in the arse but even she was impressed by the way the RVI handled things.Yeah our lass has a friend who's relative had the same happen, she actually went on to develop a 2nd aneurysm and had that treated successfully anarl.

Different class through there. It was brand new when I first went in.My mam was initially seen at Sunderland general.

Aye. Was shocked comparing it to the general facilities wise. No complaints about the care at Sunderland for my mam or for the births of my kids but the facilities are miles behind.Different class through there. It was brand new when I first went in.
Bloody hell you've been through the mill.I have 3. Big bassas as well. Nowt they can do.
Also had two others clipped and a coil put in one that burst.

My mother has had two aneurysms clipped at the RVI as well. Both successfully after a stroke.Aye. Was shocked comparing it to the general facilities wise. No complaints about the care at Sunderland for my mam or for the births of my kids but the facilities are miles behind.

Yeah completely agree we had a granddaughter who had a form of neuroblastoma and obviously a lot of time was spent at the RVI, she died aged 5 about 8 years ago now but not for the lack of trying to save her by the staff at the RVIAye.
