Carotid Artery Aneurysym
Monday, June 8, 2009 | An Anxious story Hello All... Our Mom is 91 years old..in the physical & mental health of a woman in her 70's...after tests she is diagnosed with the above Anny on her right side of the upper neck. I am waiting to confer with the surgeon as I write this... Is this particular type and location so uncommon that I only see 1 post regarding this. My 2 sisters and I are "emotionally drained" and any helpful words will be appreciated. Mom goes back & forth on wheter she wants the surgery or not. Risks either way. Has anyone experienced a similar case with these symptoms AND age? Should a second opinion be sought? Thank you.. Posted on 06/09/09, 05:06 pm |

My aneurysm was in my brain and ruptured. I do not know anything about this type your Mom has. Is there no where you can go to look up info on it? I will try and get back to you. Today we go see my 2 doctors to find out their decision on my new annie so I will ask them if they know anything on her type. Hang in there. Someone may see your post and have the info you need. She sounds like a very well adjusted woman who has taken good care of herself.

Re: 2nd opinion @ Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. GREAT...!! they retested Mom (they will not use any information or results from other facilities) the surgeon we consulted with had recently done a very similar patient, age-wise and same area. Complete success! We will all be going back for the surgery in 4-6 weeks..Thanks for thoughts and prayers..

I just had my second surgery.It has been a few days now and I am home but still feel out of it. No pain or headaches, just not me. Give it a few more days. Glad to hear things are going good for your mom. Its nice when someone her age wants to live. You guys must be wonderful children. God Bless all of you.
