Maybe from surgery.: Endovascular coiling of brain aneurysms uses x-rays to look inside the head while the aneurysm is fixed. Sometimes, when large amounts of x-rays are used, patients will notice some hair falling out. This usually grows back in several months. If you are concerned, speak to your surgeon.

Hair: You probably had a lengthy procedure. The hair loss is from the radiation used to guide the coiling procedure. Should grow back
