Hi all I am 43 years old and I have just been diagnosed with ica aneurysm. It is 7mm×7mm in size. I first experienced headaches Aug 2018 and in Sept 2018 my right hand side of my face went numb. I went to a&e had a ct and mri scan. They noticed that my main artery under my right ear was twisted. So I had to wait for a mra scan. I had it done in Jan 2019 I have to wait now to see a specialist to see the next moves.

Hello, @lizang, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I can imagine it would feel worrisome to see half of your face go numb and experience the headaches you mentioned. I am glad to hear you have a diagnosis and now know the cause of those symptoms.

I am sure you may have many questions, having this brand new diagnosis, @lizang. Do you have a top question for others in this discussion who've experienced this type of aneurysm?
