I had brain surgery to clip and coil those two brain aneurysms. I am now 26, have been diagnosed with 2 more small aneurysm that have not been treated yet. I am 8 months pregnant with my first child and hope to have surgery on the two untreated aneurysms soon after my baby girl is born. It is very interesting to me to find other people with this same defect!
