Scan results - Fusiform aneurysm

[54Apple54]

Hi everyone,hope you all had a lovely Christmas.

Just received a copy of a letter sent to my doctors which just tells me that I have a fusiform aneurysm of the right internal carotid artery which is probably incidental nevertheless they will arrange a joint neurovascular clinic appointment for a discussion.

So the only new news is I now know the type of aneurysm🙂

Very little info on the web about my type and position of my aneurysm if any one can find or have personal experience please let me know please - all I’ve found out it is rare ,low rate of rupture but not good out come if they do rupture/ bleed

Wishing all a very happy and healthy new year
