I have just been diagnosed with a 2mm anuersym. My Mum has had two SAH and more recently two Anuerysms coiled so I guess it runs in the family. Nevertheless it has come as a shock. The Doctor said that I am a very low risk, but my concern is how long has the Annie been there, who knows maybe 20years or has it appeared recently and is growing??. I am so confused and upset. I have four young children who I cannot stop thinking of (they need their Mum). The next step I guess is for a Neurosurgeon to check over my MRI and to see what action if any they will take. I was told it was on the left hand side of my head, however, the Registrar today said it is in my neck so I am totally confused. Any advice on what questions I should ask would be helpful and should I be so worried.
