Brain aneurysm: Not to worry. The aneurysm is occluded and not at risk for rupture. After one year the risk for compaction of the coils and recurrence of the aneurysm is exceedingly low. The coils are MRI compatible so you can have MRI scans too.

If you do acquire head trauma, or a concussion, it may cause injury, BUT very unlikely to affect the prior aneurysmal site.
