Only really got picked up because of the effect it was having on my eyesight. I think I've been pretty lucky that it's not gone bang before now - so does my neurosurgeon! They're hoping to "do" me before the end of the year
They're going to try stenting and coiling it - if that doesn't work they'll do a bypass.
I feel for you.. I had an annie in the left carotid. Mine was in the cm as well.. You mentioned you had some eyesight problems before the discovery.. What type of eyesight problems were you having?
