cerebral angiogram for nurses

hi doc, this is to find out about the rehabilitation process or type of exercises which can be advisable for a 10 months old baby girl whose recent MRI shows mild cerebral atrophy with encephalomalacic changes in both cerebral hemispheres. Mother and baby was suffering from chikungunya fever and was treated. baby developed viral encephalitis and neonatal jaundice which was under control. baby is on anti convulsive treatment.

He was admitted in hospital due to fever where aneurysm may have potentially ruptured,seized for 3 hours, lot of blood in his brain, went through coiling surgery, had 2 angioplasty to control cerebral vasospasm. As of today he is moving his right part of the body, left side, off the ventilator(breathing by himself) still cannot track us with eyes, not sure if he can hear....Any insights or expert prognosis is appreciated....

I will call my neurosurgeon Monday for a follow-0up appointment. Meanwhile, I get to take it easy for a week while the collagen seal on my femoral artery gets nice and solid.

Hi there. Unruptured cerebral aneurysm can be investigated with cerebral arteriogram or angiogram. A doctor inserts a long thin tube into an artery in your legs and guides it through your blood vessels to the arteries in your neck that lead to your brain. A specialist injects dye into the arteries, which creates a map of your arteries and the aneurysm on xrays. CT can reveal blood flow in your brain and show aneurysm location.

I was diagnosed with a 4mm cerebral aneurysm and just went for angiogram ct and I am waiting the results I am a nervous wreck. I was also diagnosed with chiari and cervical disc disease . How do they treat cerebral aneurysms ?

Doctors diagnose the condition by ruling out atherosclerosis and looking for certain typical imaging signs through CT-angiogram, angiography, color dopplar, and MRI. Hope this helps. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history.

I waited on my fiancé during his angiogram, 1 hour of waiting and 3 hours of supervising from the nurses then home we went

There are a few treatment options for AVMs which you can discuss with your doctor. Many will go for an embolization surgery, but you can also look into removal or stereotactic radiosurgery. Make sure to talk about the pros and cons of each and see what will be best for your specific case. Hope you are doing well.

I had an appt with a neurosurgeon Monday. He would like for me to have a cerebral angiogram so he can see a better picture of my 5mm aneurysm that was on the MRA taken by my neurologist. Then he will help me decide whether it should be watched or treated, if so how, and whether it could be the cause of my eye pain. The neuro-ophth sticks by her dx of TN and doesn't think the aneurysm is related since it isn't where it could touch the trigeminal nerve branches in the cavernous sinus.

Grammy5680, I feel your pain. My cerebral angiogram was May 16, 2013, and I am still dealing with horrible pain in my right leg and groin, which wakes me up at night. In June, my Neurologist performed an ultrasound and discovered a pseudo-aneurysm and then had to perform an ultrasound guided compression to 'irradiate' it (make it stop). Three months later I remain in great pain. This afternoon, I went to a Vascular specialist who performed another ultrasound.

I am a 30 year old female, just had a 4 vessel cerebral angiogram and was diagnosed with a 2mm aneurysm on the right side of the brain. I was told I would have to be followed every 2 years to make sure it didn't grow. Is this the normal time span for follow up? Also..I am very active, I run quite a bit and lift weights. Is this still safe for me to do? I'm not sure what, if any, effects there would be. Any advice would be helpful.

After the Cerebral Angiogram I had the following symptoms that initially were explained as a result of the dye used for the procedure. I was told that they should subside after 4-5 days.

I have had neither at this point. I see the neurosurgeon in 2 days and am going to inquire about those tests.

I had an MRI done about a month before the surgery along with a cerebral angiogram about a week after the MRI. I do have a picture of the aneurysms from the MRI which I could show you but I don't think I can attach it to this message. The MRI was very clear showing the aneurysms but the angiogram was 100% better, it showed them in a 3D kind of way. If you would like me to send you the MRI pictures, let me know where to send them and I would be happy to do it.

Getting an angiomgram is the Gold standard treatment for getting a good look at the annie. I had an angiogram last year in April...the worst part was lying on my back for 6 hours after the procedure. With a procedure like this there are of course risks but the doctors will go over all that with you. I'm sorry I don't know the answers to your questions.....But best way to find out if its genetic is to find out from family members (aunts, uncles etc).

Vasculitis is diagnosed based on history, examination, imaging of blood vessels of the brain (which can be accomplished with an MRA or CT angiogram but the most sensitive test is a standard cerebral angiogram). Lumbar puncture to analyze the cerebrospinal fluid, the fluid that bathes the brain and spine, can sometimes be helpful. Lupus is diagnosed based on a combination of clinical signs, organs involved, and specific blood tests.

I had a CT angiogram for heart this week. Compared to a regular angiogram or catheterization , the CT angiogram can be considered a noninvasive procedure. However, in your dad's case the CT angiogram may also be considered risky because of kidney problems. His kidneys may not be able to deal with the dye used for CT angiogram. I am not a doctor so here I am just giving advice based on my on experience.

A few weeks ago, I started having weird facial sensations out of no where. The left side of my face was prickly and then started feeling like I'd been numbed by a dentist. I told my internist about it, and she ordered another brain MRI, this time on a 3T machine. I kind of hoped that maybe the stronger machine would show more than the 1.5T MRIs I've had in the past. She also ordered an MRA at the same time.

is sending me for a cerebral angiogram and wants to re-evaluate the M.S diagnosis. Could all of these symptoms / tests be one disease and if not what are your thoughts like why the angiogram? Please help, I feel like I am back at ground zero. Thank you for your time and input.

The doc puts the device up through the groin and into the brain like an angiogram. If she is having this procedure, she is very lucky. There are not many docs that are trained to do this procedure and there is a small window of time that the procedure can be done after the onset of the stroke. Good luck to your sister in law and your family!
