I have an unruptured 5.2 mm saccular brain aneurysm. It is in a difficult place to reach so haven't considered surgery yet but have an appt to get a second opinion this month. I am told it is good that it was detected but this isn't as reassuring as it sounds. We are still scared constantly. Am told to keep blood pressure and stress down to prevent growth.
I would love to hear surgery success stories for difficult to reach brain aneurysms. @jessica79, I hear you loud and clear. And yes, symptom of a sudden severe headache will have my husband calling an ambulance for sure.
