Infundibulum or aneurysm?

Posted by lilcountry @lilcountry, Jul 15, 2018

Hi. So last week, my neurologist gave me the results of my MRI and MRA and said they have found what is either an infundibulum or an aneurysm, they can’t be sure which without doing a cerebral angiogram. It’s over 3mm in size. I originally went to him because I had been having “spells” as we had been calling them, where I seemed to zone out, almost like a seizure but without shaking, a non epileptic seizure if you will. He insists this has no bearing on it and seems to think those are triggered only by stress. He also showed me numerous white “spots” all over the MRI which he said were probably just from my migraines. A friend of mine had the same white “spots” on hers and her doctor did not brush it off as migraines. I’ve never had any problems like this before, and to be honest I am scared. Should I get a second opinion? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
If helpful at least sometimes They just watch things of that smaller size (or would need an angio they might not do) (since they would watch it either way )to confirm what it is between the two. However talk to your doctor of course for specifics. But take a deep breath as they may not know/tell you specifics unless they do more testing. Hang in there. The vs. typically means they can’t confirm what it is between the two. I understand this can be frustrating. The small size is a good thing.
