  1. Good morning everyone, In April my wife had an aneurysm and it was coiled. Since then she has experienced some sight issues in her left eye that shows up as a grainy area towards the nose side when she closes her right eye but this has become a side issue to what the scan showed up on Tuesday. Anyway..........some 7 weeks ago she had an MRI scan to see if all was okay with the coiling and last Tuesday she got an appointment with the neurologist at Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry which is where the operation took place to discuss the scan. The neurologist was there who we had spoken to before plus another who was sitting in on the meeting. After discussing the scan which showed the coiling to be intact they pointed out about five small white dots on the other side of the brain. They seemed to talk between themselves as though we were'nt in the room and one said I don't think it's signs of MS and the other shook his head but they said that it's a little early for these spots to show up. They asked her age (54) and if she has ever smoked. She said she hasn't but her family has a history of Cardio Vascular disease and her father died from a heart attack in his mid 40's. She is now on blood pressure tablets as of two months ago and her cholesterol levels were found to be borderline high when checked around the same time. She eats healthily and is not over weight. Now the neurologist has decided that another MRI scan should be done in 6 months instead of the 18 months initially discussed and that he is going to refer her to someone more specialised in this area. We are now thinking is six months too long to wait? Are the white spots vascular disesse realated, is it MS or a direct result of the aneurysm? I just wish MS hadn't been mentioned in front of us. He gave us the mortality statistics for the outcome of an aneurysm and basically said be thankful you're alive and with such little side effects. At the end of the meeting he just said have a nice Christmas as if his part of the job was done and now we're handing you over to someone else. We are very very grateteful for the surgery of course but this last meeting and the word MS has left my wife basically in a deep depression. My wife found this great forum in the first place and I have signed her up but she hasn't been ready to tell her story just yet. We have however both found the comments on here extremely helpful. We were elated after the surgery considering the possible outcome but things have now gone in a different direction. Thank you for reading this Ashley
