Question 1

how do you know you have an unruptured anerysm?

Accepted Answer

Location?: An aneurysm can be of many different structures, usually a blood vessel. If cerebral (brain) aneurysm, these can be detected by MRI or angiogram (dye-injected via catheter with xrays), or symptoms develop when they leak or rupture. In the abdomen, an aneurysm of the aorta may cause pain, and may be palpable. An ultrasound will give an accurate measure of the size. Very rare in young people.

Question 2

is it possible for you to live with an anurisim in your head?

Accepted Answer

Possible: But depends on several factors such as location and size. There is a higher risk of rupture with increasing size. Location is important since it is easier to treat aneurysms in certain areas of brain, you should consult a neurosurgeon for specific situation.

Question 3

was digonosed with a 4.0 cm arotic aneursym will stay at that size or will it grow in 7 years?

Accepted Answer

Where?: The aorta starts at the heart in the chest and extends to below the belly button-umbilicus.
Abdominal, infra renal is more common sit o aneurysm dilation.
4 cm is abnormal and should be reevaluated at 6 month intervals by ct or ultrasound- more common and less risk.
No smoking
control blood pressure
get weight to best possible for your height.

Question 4

can you tell me how a brain aneryusym occurs?

Accepted Answer

Brief description: Not uncommonly is presence of congenital berry aneurysm, typically located in vasculature at base of brain. Other aneurysms can be due to uncontrolled hypertension, Charcot-Bouchard aneurysms, some could be caused by trauma, bacterial endocarditis can produce septic aneurysms, and rarely syphilis which causes aortic aneurysms could affect larger brain blood vessels.

Question 5

for what length of time can you have an aortic aneursym before it bursts?

Accepted Answer

Aortic aneurysm: If the aneurysm is not large and if the pulse pressure in the vessel is kept controlled, the aneurysm can possibly be stable for many years.

Question 6

my.ascending aorta is measuring a 2.9 is this considered mildly ectaic or an anerisium?

Accepted Answer

: More strict criteria take into consideration age,sex,height&amp; weight but age is the strongest factor. I believe for you, between 2.9 and 3.2 would be considered within normal limits.

Question 7

what are the risks &types of food & diet should i follow after a cranial anyerisum(stroke) ?

Accepted Answer

Berry?: I'm going to assume that you had a ruptured berry aneurysm and that you were successfully treated. You'd do well -- like everyone else -- to avoid very greasy and very salty food, and in fact if your physician has suggested avoiding salt to forestall any tendency to hypertension, this might be a great idea. There's no magic food for recovery. Best wishes.

Question 8

vascular aortic anyerisum

Accepted Answer

Depends on size: You should have this monitored regularly and at a certain point your doctor will recommend surgery, if aneurysm continues  to grow. Take his advice. I am assuming this is an abdominal aortic aneurysm, but if it is thoracic, there are different treatment options depending upon exact location.

Question 9

i have a abdominal anurism .how can this be fixed?

Accepted Answer

Aneurysm: You need frequent ultrasounds and a vascular consult that will determine what is necessary.

Question 10

harmful and lasting effects of a pulmonary anurism?

Accepted Answer

Discuss this with Dr: Depending on the size and perhaps location, this can be more or less serious if it bursts. Pursue treatment options with your doctor. Here is a straighforward simple explanation for a start. http://www.ehow.com/about_5541211_pulmonary-aneurysm-symptoms.html
