Welcome to Connect, @carol1965.
I can imagine it would be worrisome to receive any diagnosis related to aneurysms. Blister aneurysms are a rare but well-recognized form of cerebral vascular lesions. Here’s some information about blister aneurysm: https://www.intechopen.com/online-first/blister-aneurysms

Since they are typically found on the wall of the internal carotid artery (ICA), I’d like to bring in @lizang @tanyabray41 @roch @skk15 @perion to join this discussion and offer their insights.

@carol1965, could you share a few more details? Do you have any symptoms?

Hi, @carol1965. Welcome to Connect. I'd love for you to also meet @hopeful33250 @jenniferhunter who may have some input on your diagnosis of blister aneurysm and benign tumor and whether you should be concerned.

How are you handling the double vision and the migraines as they arise, carol1965?
