I could have moved on completely if not for the second one which comes to haunt me once a month (-: My doctors are monitoring the size but one neurosurgeon wants to open me up again. I'd like to get some insights on pericallosal aneurysm and coiling which unfortunately coiling in Manila is not a popular treatment yet. Thanks and God bless you all...

I am fairly new to this world, but understand your apprehansion at another craniotomy, as I have ad both a craniotomy and and a coiling.
My research shows a much lower incidence of complications with coiling, although it is newer and there are no longterm studies of the coiling in the U.S.; it has been used for much longer in Europe. Whatever you decide, my thoughts are with you.
