Question 1

anyone know what is a traumatic basilar artery aneurysm?

Accepted Answer

As the name suggests: It is aneurysm of dilatation of the basilar artery (at the back side of brain) due arterial wall disruption as a result of injury.

Question 2

basilar artery fenestration found (small) no aneurysm. f, age 53.  scared to death. overweight, no other health problems. is hrt ok?

Accepted Answer

Basilar artery: "fenestrations" are found in normal people and by themselves is not harmful. As long as you are healthy you should stop the WORRY which is a lot more harmful to you as that uncommon but normal "variation" in your arterial brain circulation!!!!!
I can think of no reason why HRT would be contra-indicated due to that finding
Aneurysms are the only possible "complications" of this anatomic "variation"

Question 6

what are the symptoms of a carotid artery aneurysm?

Accepted Answer

Few: Abnormal pulsation in the neck, prominent  visible  structure in the neck, otherwise these aneurysms produce no symptoms. Rarely tia's or stroke sx are noted.

Question 7

what are the most common symptoms of femoral artery aneurysm?

Accepted Answer

None: Usually none unless it leaks or bursts and then it's very painful, there is large possibly pulsating lump, and, in the worst case, your blood pressure drops with faintness.  Prior to rupture, one may discover an unusually easy to feel pulsation in the crease in the groin which is painless.  There's normally a strong pulse there so distinguishing  it from an aneurysm may be hard without ultrasound.

Question 8

IT is: a ballooning of the basilar artery which supplies blood flow to the brain as a result of trauma.

Question 9

what is symptoms of splenic artery aneurysm leaking? i have a 1.9cm that has bit changed in 2 years

Accepted Answer

Artery leak: Artery bleeding is usually quite brisk but with slower bleeding within the spleen, weakness,fatigue and left upper abdominal discomfort may be noted. I assume you're being followed by a vascular surgeon for the aneurysm.

Question 10

i have a basilar artery fenestration without aneurysm. i am 36. i am worried an aneurysm will form or a stroke. ive read that aneurysms for 7% of the time. that seems high when speaking about aneurysms. should i be worried? what do i do?

Accepted Answer

: You  certainly do not have a fenestration in your basilar artery, By definition fenestration is "a perforation in a structure". You may wish to restate your question or better yet, consult a neurologist.
