I have an unruptured 6mm berry brain aneurysm. It was diagnosed more than 9 years ago. The neurosurgeon now does a follow up MRI every 2 years to keep tabs on it. I’ve had the CT angiogram . The main thing is to try to live a normal life and not to live in fear. I keep tabs on my blood pressure and stress levels but otherwise try not to stress over it. Make sure you know symptoms of what to watch for…such as sudden severe headache, etc. I hope everything turns out well for you!

Thanks @jessica79 May I ask why your neurosugeon did not opted for a procedure like coiling or stent? My aneurysm is open neck and he is recommending stent after doing angyogram. Looks like mine is due to genetics since I don't have other known triggers
