thanks everyone
Hello,
I have the same problem. My ventricles are enlarged and the symptoms all started at once. After having a cisternogram done, they said there was no blockage or leak. They said I would have to live with it. They said I was probably born with it.. So I dont know what to do now. Also they found a clover leaf aneurysm on my basilar top artery measuring 8.5 and cant do surgery on it either, because it has 5 other arteries feeding into it. To dangerous to operate. One doctor told me i'm screwed..(JERK). I know how you feel and I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Cheri
