I saw a neurosurgeon and he told me that I have a 4mm fusiform aneurysm. He said there is not a risk of rupture with this type of anuerysm. I find this hard to believe. He also said that there is nothing to be done for it.

I was wondering if anyone here has or knows anyone who has had one of these and could fill me in a little more with any details.

Thanks so much,
Laura
