Sallios Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I’ve seen a lot of posts where you talk about your anni having a neck. Does anyone know if that’s the same as a remnant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subzero Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Hello, can you clarify for us... was your aneurysm coiled or clipped? The remnant obviously relates to the clipping procedure outcome. Thanks Subs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subzero Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Hello and thanks for your response. Hopefully other members will give input to your post from their own experiences.. A follow up scan is likely to be carried out within the first year of coiling when the instance of a change in the size of the aneurysm neck may become apparent and a decision made on whether further treatment is necessary. Further scans to monitor will be considered by the consultant. The extra growth is also termed a "remnant' although the occurrence on coiled aneurysms is small. The clipped aneurysm remnant often occurred when essential checks during the clipping procedure may not have been carried out. What was the decision on your own scan? I should also add that the 'neck' relates to where the blood vessel weakened and resulted in the aneurysm forming. Subs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
