StaceyJ Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi, Im new to site. I recently went to neurosurgeon with uncle, he has two small anyeurysms, my mother had one removed years ago. So surgeon said it would be good iidea to get mra since my family history. Went to my doc to read report but he had to look up what it meant. "Probable infundibula at the origins of bilateral posterior communicating arteries. 2. 3mm on left 1. 8mm on right. Should I see neurologist?

Super Mario Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Stacey, welcome to BTG. If I were in your shoes I would request a referral to a neurologist especially as you doctor doesn't seem to know anything about the results. That would put your mind at rest instead of you worrying about the results. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi Stacey A very warm welcome to BTG. I agree with Super Mario, definitely ask for a referral for peace of mind because of your family history. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. Take care, Tina xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharlua Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi Stacey and welcome to site, we have a family history of aneurysms, I had a large one which bled and my sister has 4 which are small and not being treated. My aunt unfortunately died of an anuerysm. My daughter had MRI and fortunately nothing, son lives in America where cost is prohibitive! With respect to your results, if GP was not helpful I would ask to speak to neurologist, I am sure if anything was really of concern you would have been seen urgently, but understanding results is crucial to your peace of mind! Let us know how you get on x Sharon x 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winb143 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Stacey, I agree and put your mind at ease as my Aunt had one and her sons but I was told they are not close enough. So see Doc and then you can carry on with life stress free xx Good luck Win xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
