3 Ways Doctors Can Treat Your Brain Aneurysm 

I had the same done in 2020 during the first couple weeks of the lockdown. Trying to find a video of a procedure. Glad you made it :) Mine was in the circle of Willis. There wouldn't be much chance of me being myself ever again going through the skull.

What is the procedure called?

Can you please tell me how brain aneurysm felt for you in detail? I get head pains but it's not like it hurts so bad. I'm scared I have it as well

@Ja it was sudden, felt like a burning sensation spreading across my brain (as if someone had put a red hot poker into my skull). I also have intracranial hypertension which is a different pain (feels like a rubber band across the head or a balloon being blow up inside the skull)

@@elseawrigley8776 that's scary . I'm glad you're better now !

Did you make it brother

It's worth noting that most people who have a brain aneurysm will never be aware and live a fulfilled life. It's the more serious aneurysms we become aware of due to aforementioned symptoms of photophobia (bright light aversion), an immediate onset of the worst headache imaginable, facial pain, drooping eyelids, they're the main symptoms. However 1 in 50 people live with brain aneurysms and they're totally asymptomatic. The primary indicator is a sub arachnoid brain haemorrhage (sah,) the brain has 3 layers pia dura arachnoid, and a bleed beneath the arachnoid layer is best indicator juxtaposed with lumbar puncture and scan. The aftermath of surgery is crucial too, this is when problems, if theyre going to appear, manifest. More haemorrhaging or infection. The more time elapsed since surgery the more likelihood of a full recovery. Usually around 2 weeks you will see problems if they're going to develop, a much better prognosis when you are 2 weeks post,-op.

@@terrymckenna3382 Can it be cured without any surgery?

@@terrymckenna3382 I found out that I have 2 aneurysms in the carotid artery 10mm in the left and a 2mm in the right. I’m currently waiting for an appointment with a neurosurgeon to see if I can get coiling. This feels like living with a time bomb. Any information I would greatly appreciate. Very scary stuff

Hey @shalom Pima, hope you had meeting with the doctor, how are you doing now?

@@PimaArt I’m in the same boat. How did it go for you?

Coiling is better than clipping

how are you doing now?

Hello Rinesa. Doing really good and next week will be one full year from my surgery. I play golf and pretty much do a lot of things that I used to do before my surgery. Thank you for asking.

@@tejanochris That's awesome! hope you have a great life stranger :)

@@tejanochris anything you cant do that you used to do?

@@andeemengaming5000 . I still play lousy golf. I havent changed in any way that I know of. I think one of my tips is to really research your surgeon. Check for experience. Not all surgeons are the same. Hope this helps.

coiling?

Hi, do you have more details, what really happened? Thank you

@@nikkie.mp4 simple... if bulge is small go for non invasive... if bigger opt for open brain surgery

@@pramodreddymanne5050 Oh i see, thanks!

hope he's fine

Im a neurosurgical nurse, its simply just called a "clipping"

@@terrymckenna3382 i had a hemorrhage size of a fist and wondering how they removed it with craniotomy with clipping

@@junemercado the haemorrhage is the actual bleed and yes when a lumbar puncture is performed you will get indication as to the severity of the bleed, along with scan and angiography this enables the surgeon to decide on how we proceed. We typically see clear cerebral spinal fluid (csf), straw coloured csf indicating a lower level bleed which still needs surgery and a rose coloured csf identifying a more serious bleed. When you say size of a fist, you are talking about the actual aneurysm, which is like a bubble on the brain artery. These occur as some people have a weakness in the arterial wall leading to an aneurysm. Slightly more prevalent in females. Patients will feel sudden onset of headache, aversion to bright lights and occasionally collapse, it's a serious emergency. So in essence imagine an artery with a bubble (aneurysm) on one side , this doesn't get removed as you asked, the surgeon places a strong clip between the wall and aneurysm, giving the artery the necessary reinforcement and the aneurysm is pretty redundant then, it's not the problem it was, if left untreated there's a high chance of stroke and death is not uncommon, you now have the clip supporting fhe artery and not allowing the previous aneurysm to become problematic. Craniotomy, in theatre you will be either prone (face down) on operating table or supine (on back) . You see the brain and wonder how these arteries in its centre can be operated on, its fairly accessible believe it or not, the neurosurgeons are remarkably gifted. Most bleeds from aneurysms happen in the centre of the brain , theres a circle with arteries called the circle of willis. There are 2 other methods of treating aneurysms called coiling and stent insertion. Hope that helped. It's probably the operation I see most of, Im a scrub nurse assisting neurosurgeon.

@@terrymckenna3382 Thank You 🙏🏼

@@terrymckenna3382 I check my medical records and i have a Intraventricular Hemorrhage....and my procedure is craniotomy with clipping. It happen last 2016 and i have a deficit with my short term memory and my right peripheral vision is affected.

update pls

I had a ruptured brain aneurysm behind my eye last year. The doctor at Baptist hospital did something called a flow diverter. It’s done through your groin or wrist.

How was she today?

My dad got this done yesterday. He had one right behind his eye as well. Doctors think it’s too risky to open the skull to access the aneurysm because the aneurysm is close to the base of the skull. He got the endovascular treatment done successfully

Mine ruptured behind the right eye as well. Angiogram was the treatment plan. So far so good after 2 months.

sir we are suffering from this disease in India , in Rajasthan , in Jaipur , in which hospital we can consult , kindly suggest us

Consult a good Neurosurgeon or any other related doctor first he they will tell you what to do nxt

@@abhi335001 I'm very sorry tp hear. This disease is a nightmare. The problem is that there 2 different lines of treatment for it. 1) Traditional approach in which a neurosurgeon uses the 1st method shown in this video. 2) Interventional Radiologist coil the aneurysm or install a stent or both. But this decision is very difficult. Both sides try to convince you their treatment is the best option. They will scare you about the alternative. In the end it is your risk what you choose to go with.

@@abhi335001 Stent are of 3 types. One is simple stent then there is more complex stent and then there is flow diverter. If you're planning to go this treatment method you're gonna have to consult some inteventional radiologists regarding which stent to go with.

@@yoursincerewellwisher1695 hi friend... i hv posted my question above in comment section... if u pls read it n ans me

Same... I'm running an egg over the pain on my head...🙏

Does it have a feel like can you feel the thing

Swvxy- no, they also do awake neurosurgery sometimes (deep brain stimulation) because the brain itself doesn’t feel pain.

+Arul Mozhi I ask God to heal you and bless you with a long & happy life. Please I need more information. 1. Where is the Aneurysm located. You can find the details on your scans & DSA report. 2. What is the current size of the Aneurysm and its current condition.

+Arul Mozhi Where are you in India ? You must consult with other good interventional radiologists (The doctors who perform coiling/stenting procedures). *Because I know from experience some doctors always tell you go for flow diverter because it makes the hospital more money.* But many times its not needed. Even a normal stent is enough to do the job. *But you must talk with experienced doctors in this field before making your decision.*

@@yoursincerewellwisher1695 thank you my friend... for ur kind concern

@@yoursincerewellwisher1695 aneurysm located in Right internal carodit artery supraclinoid segment... Ruptured aneurysm with acute subarachnoid haemorrhage

@@yoursincerewellwisher1695 i'm from Tamil Nadu in India... and did my coil embolization in best hosipital and by best docter in chennai and the docter is a very good n kind.

eureureureureure pffft

I hope you get one

Yes, if performed correctly and in time. The danger is of rupturing which causes blood to enter the brain and irritate it. Loss of motor functions, sight, memory, etc. can occur. So it's better to perform the proper procedure as soon as the aneurysm is detected.

Yes, I survived mine with a brain stent, it's been a year and have had no problems, it completely dried up and doctor's said it was huge
