Karen Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Hi Donna, I still have a neck left on my aneurysm and have been monitored since the coiling in 2005 ... my last scan was in 2010 and they were happy with it. ..... I will be scanned again in 2015, which will be about 10 years post coiling. I know that it's a bit of a shock when you're first told, so know how you feel! Takes a little while to come to terms with the knowledge, but you do and the good thing is, that they're still monitoring you for any changes. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kempse Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hi Donna, I understand how these things can throw you into a state of worry. Towards the end of last year I asked my gp to print off the letters he had received from my consultant and one of those letters said that my unruptured aneursym had a broad neck projecting laterally close to the origin of the ophthalmic artery. This was the first I knew about this, which in my view, was not the most satisfactory way to find out:roll: The broad neck has never been discussed or explained to me which leaves it to my own imagination as what it all means. I know they are monitoring this aneursym and I go for a scan in August this year, but finding out about these things (ie, 2 years later in my case) when you are least expecting it is not at all nice. I hope, like me, that when you get over the initial shock of hearing this, you will be able to re-focus and continue as you have been doing.

Super Mario Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I have a neck on my annie and when I queried it I was told that it was safe as mine burst at the top, so I don't worry about it any more. I do not even have check ups now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
