my mum went into A/E 2 weeks ago with pains in her stomach, & was discharged with a brain aneurysm, apparently this was discovered in 2015. Nobody ever told her, the doctors have no record of this, we are all devastated.

Hi Bella, I can understand how this would be such a shock and very frightening. I am quite shocked that that information was withheld in the first place, a lot including mine are found accidentally and looking back now given the choice I think I might have preferred not to have known because it has taken over my life since. I assume your mums must only be quite small as she has had no follow up appointments or treatments, or even seeing a neurologist, it seems like she has slipped through the net, which hospital was she in when found, surely she should have had some follow up, it’s very strange, I would certainly be looking into it. I know it’s very scary but try not to worry too much we do live with these little monsters in our heads, feel free to read my profile story, and come back here anytime or on the headway website, for support , there are lots of lovely people who will help if they can, lots of love Alice xx
