Hey!

I hope that by this point in the month you have been getting some good answers.

I wanted to say that my understanding is that it is not uncommon for smaller aneurysms not to show up on an MRI, particularly not immediately after an incident.

I was found to have a 7mm supraclinoid aneurysm during a very high resolution MRA (with dye) done at Johns Hopkins prior to microvascular decompressions surgery for trigeminal neuralgia. It had not been detected on two prior head MRIs.

It was big enough and in a bad place, that my local neurosurgeon recommended a pipeline stent (I got two, yea...), which worked to completely reverse the aneurysm development. It's literally gone.

As others have said, I suspect your neurosurgeon will recommend waiting because of the size, but if you can be clear and precise about your symptoms, they are more likely to be able to help.

The upshot is that a journal may be your best bet to fully describe the symptoms and express your concerns.

Good luck,

S.
