Stroke after aneurysm
Common Questions and Answers about Stroke after aneurysm
stroke
I had coiling with stent done on 11 Jan 2011 for an unruptured 8.5mm right ICA aneurysm and had really bad headaches for nearly 2 weeks after. I reckon with the insertion of the stent and coiling, some trauma could occur and also the contrast dye always gives me headache. Possible that the intensity of the headache is worse due to these 2 factors. I am headache free now and have the odd headache here and there but very tolerable.
Hello, I'm a 48 yr old female, good weight. I have been having a rhythmatic, whistling, pulsing sound in my right ear now off and on for about 3 weeks. It comes and goes. Could this be a weakened blood vessel and I'm on the verge of a stroke or aneurysm?

I assume you are interested of the seriousness and treatment options available for your aneurysm. If your atrial septal aneurysm doesn't shunt blood flow across the aneurysm from one side to the otherside atrium there isn't much that needs done other than contol blood pressure. There are medical literature and articles that suggest blood clots can form in the aneursym can form in the aneursym itself because the blood tends to pool there.
Yes, you can have headaches for years after a stroke. I have had migraines for over 3 years since my stroke which the neurologists seem to think were caused by my stroke. And I have since read many posts from others who have migraines after their strokes.
But there are many treatments that the doctors can do. You need to find a headache specialist or at least a neurologist.
Over the past year I have had progressive numbness starting in my left foot (toes) which has travelled up my leg and backside area. After both aneurysm hospital stays I had severe lower back pain and spasms. After the first aneurysms I had scan to see if there was anything detected to cause the back spasms. Nothing showed up. I still, on occassional, experience quick catching excruciating pain in lower to middle back which literally takes my breath away for a second or so then passes.
I was having an hemorraghic stroke (rupture of aneurysm). They do not know why I had develop the aneurysm, as I do not have high blood pressure, am not a smoker, or drink alcohol, or have family history of stroke. It seems that aneursym develop over time, but I am still in my head think that night may have caused my aneurysm to rupture. I had surgery (stent and coil embolization) since then but am scare of developing new one or rupture the existing one if not canalized properly.
t been told nothing further except to take Aspirin, I got out of the Hospital on June 27th after 7 days in the Hospital and that was on a Friday, the following Monday I had the same symptoms I had when I went in which were Shaking, a feeling of intoxication and swelling in the hand and numbness on the right side of the body !! ( opted not to go in ) So now I'm lost I have no clue what it is I should do, or what kind of questions I should ask or even what kind of Doctor to seek out for help.
My thoughts are, why be a ticking bomb by never knowing when I will have a stroke, or when the aneurysm will rupture and have the surgery to correct the issue now. They say do not stress, well, I say welcome to life for one and for two, like I can live stress free from knowing I could die or have a stroke anytime. Any information will help. I've tried research, but there is not much on this. Thank you in advance for all your help.
Well long story shot she developed a clot right where the stents were put in to fix her re-bleed last month, and exactly a week after getting home she suffered a stroke (July 20th) she has now been in the hospital 10 days and Im really worried cuz she has not really been alert much. She opens her eyes time to time when prompted by the nurses (and sometimes family) and is able to move her arms and legs.
Hello everyone.

Sometimes when i make sexy and rarely but when i masturbate too i got some "shivers" on the top of my left ear.
The prognosis varies from child to child and depends on whether the child has infection or hemorrhage after surgery. However, infants fare better than adults after aneurysm surgeries provided there are no other malformations. There have been cases of children leading a normal lifespan with no or minimal handicap. However, your baby's neurosurgeon can guide you best.
Take care!
Hi, I am a 33 year old female and I have a "suspected" interatrial septal aneurysm. I was just "diagnosed" last week. I have had chest pains my whole life and referred to the pain as "my heart hurts" as a child. I have had hemmorhage splinters, headaches, bruise easily, pain in my joints and fatigue.
The MRA said that there is no evidence for hemodynamically significant stenosis or aneurysm measuring greater than 3-4 mm in size of the major intracranial arteries. And that the right A1 segment is mildly hypoplastic as compared to the left. What does this mean? Does that mean that they saw some aneurysms, but that they are small? Do I need to worry about ruptured aneurysms or stroke? If so, is there anything I can do to prevent either? Thank you.
Has anyone ever experienced severe headaches after having a stroke? I was put back in the hospital earlier this week because the pain was so bad, and nothing I was taking was having any effect on it. Even in the hospital, I was on an IV of dilaudid and that only helped minimally. I came home on Wednesday and the headaches had abated somewhat, but now they are back and as painful as ever.
In other words, was he not healthy enough at the time the aneurysm was first discovered to be able to tolerate an open surgical repair of the aneurysm? Because, after two failed stents, I would wonder why they think a third one is the ticket, this time. On the other hand, if he was in too poor health to tolerate aortic surgery the first time, then he is probably not any better a candidate for open repair this time, and that would explain why they are talking about trying a third stent.
last fall he began experiencing episodes that were first diagnosed as TIAs. After several episodes a TEE was done. A PFO was discovered. Our GP and our neurologist recommended closure. In December, a Cardioseal was inserted. In March ‘08 a follow-up TEE was done. The seal was not completely healed. Another follow-up TEE was performed yesterday; healing has not progressed since March.
My uncle recently passed away of a stroke following surgery to repair a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Just prior to surgery my cousin was told that the aneurysm had ruptured 2 weeks ago but had clotted. Has anyone heard of this? I thought once these things rupture they must be operated on immediately or else the patient will die. Would my uncle's aneurysm have become fatal even though it clotted? Was the surgery necessary in his case?
my mom died with an aneurysm of the aorta. my oldest brother had two: one in the groin and one in the aorta. His were fixed with sugery. My next brother had an anuerysm in the groin. surgery was performed. He lived but had a heart attack while still in the hospital also got pneumonia and then sepsis and died after a week in the hospital. How often should I be checked for an aneurysm.
Ironically i had an aneurysm rupture on 10-10-10.At the age of 34,I had the clipping surgery done on right side on 3-11.The past three years since,I have had pain in the surgery area that moves at times to my right eye.Most times it stays around a 5 in pain...but atleast a couple days a week it is a 10 or more.The incision site is sunk in and feels tight quite often.I try stretchin and theres alot of popping and crackin sounds.My Dr. Has done MRA and its fine.
