A member asked:
Are two normal 3 tesla mra/mris and a normal cta enough to exclude brain aneurysm in the case of unexplained unilateral head pain and unequal pupils?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe: Cta is a fairly good study; however, i would include the neck region and make sure that there are no problems with the carotid arteries as well.

If done properly: Should be enough. Have a neuro-ophthalmologist check the pupils. Could be something else.
