Is it safe to fly with a brain stem Cavernoma?

My fist and last bleed was in 2015 and it hasn't bled since. I was wondering if it would be safe due to cabin pressure as hopefully I will be able to travel abroad next year if I'm lucky.

Anyone have experience flying after having a bleed?

Hi, I have a brain stem cavernoma which bled in June 2018. I have flown several times since, the first time just a month after the bleed, and did not have any problems. The Angioma Alliance advice is that patients with cavernoma can fly in commercial aircraft with normal cabin pressures

Hope this helps and you manage to go on your trip soon.
