@tanyabray41 , thanks for asking.

I am doing good. My neurosurgeon repeated a CT 6 months after initial diagnosis and there was no change. So will repeat CT scan in another year. After first diagnosis, I was very nervous knowing it was there, but as time goes by I am less worried. I also talked to my primary provider about and he agrees with neurosurgeon that I am at low risk and it just needs to be monitored on regular bases.

I have no family history of aneurysms. Do they know what caused your aneurysm? I have no idea what caused mine or how long it has been there. Dr asked about previous car accidents, etc..., but I can not remember any trauma that might of caused.

Six years later, any updates. I have an incidental 2mm carotid aneurysm on Cta scan. Quite anxious
