Internal carotid artery aneurysm

Hi @gloryasong - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I think your nervousness is very normal.
Two years ago I had a neuroendocrine tumor discovered in my first colonoscopy. This was followed by testing to find any residual cancer during the next few months. I found it soul testing. Waiting to get through and get results from important medical testing is hard.
What symptoms were you experiencing that led to the CT that identified your aneurysm? Or was this an incidental finding during a scan for something else?

@lisalucier hello Lisa. I've never heard of a neuroendocrine tumor during the colonoscopy. Of course I've had those adenoma type of polyps but they always take them off, and say see you in 5 years!
The reason I had to go in the emergency room yesterday was because I developed some double vision and loss of balance. It was over pretty fast but it was really disconcerting. I was concerned perhaps I was having a mini TIA.
Anyhow they didn't think that was the problem but they did find the aneurysm incidentally on the head CT. I need to call them this morning to schedule an MRA
