I had a brain aneurysm clipped 11 years ago and at that time I was also diagnosed with an infundibulum on another artery. Should I see a Neurosurgeon for follow ups or is there another Dr that handles the follow ups?

@lynncarol I have a few questions for you.

Have you been following up with a neurosurgeon since the aneurysm was repaired 11 years ago? Have you had any imaging done (CT angiography, for instance) since the infundibulum was diagnosed 11 years ago? I'm asking this because I'm wondering if the neurosurgeon has noted any change during that time period. And are you having any symptoms now that leads you to ask this question?

We aren't medical professionals on Mayo Clinic Connect but we can provide support and help you to make your decisions with the information that you have. If this were me, and I had not seen a neurosurgeon over the past several years I would start with my primary care provider and ask this question. This is the physician who can help figure out the specialist that would be the best option for you. I'm thinking this would like be a neurosurgeon and your primary care provider can make a referral for you.

Do you have a primary care physician you can talk to about this?

Hello @lynncarol and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I see that @naturegirl5 has joined you to ask some follow up questions in support of question.

You will notice that I have moved your post into an existing discussion on a similar topic, which you can now find here:

I will let you respond to @naturegirl5 but would also add in that I wonder if you have shared this with your primary care doctor to see if a referral is something he/she may be able to assist you with?
